Headword: *skhnhma/twn
Adler number: sigma,571
Translated headword: [of] tenting-places
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning of] the habitations.[1] "They went out, having passed a stormy night in which not even one of the barbarians who were accustomed [sc. to the climate] went outside the tenting-places without some extraordinary necessity."[2]
Greek Original:
*skhnhma/twn: tw=n oi)kh/sewn. xeime/rion nu/kta thrh/santes e)ch=lqon, e)n h(=| ou)d' a)/n tis tw=n barba/rwn tw=n h)qa/dwn a)/neu tino\s e)caisi/ou a)na/gkhs e)/cw tw=n skhnhma/twn e)ge/neto.
Notes:
[1] The headword is genitive plural of skh/nhma (cf. sigma 573, sigma 574). It is presumably from the quotation given, where it is governed by the preposition e)/cw.
[2] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpts made for Constantine Porphyrogenitus), unidentifiable; but see already at eta 148, with the note there.
Keywords: definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; historiography; history
