[Meaning one who is] alleging as a reason.
*skh/pios: o( profasizo/menos.
Similar entry, according to Adler, in the
Ambrosian Lexicon 447 (with
*skh/yios as the headword, but see below). The Suda's headword
skh/pios, condemned by Bernhardy, is unattested elsewhere, and has perhaps become contaminated by the next entry,
sigma 577 (
*Skhpi/wn). In any event, the translation of the headword here assumes that it is an error for the participle
skhpto/menos, which, if correct, means that that participle has two entries in the Suda: see
sigma 580.
*skhpto/menos is glossed in
Timaeus'
Platonic Lexicon with the same participle that the Suda uses here, and in
Synagoge 113 by that participle along with two others that are used for glosses in
sigma 580 (cf. also
Photius, as well as
sigma 579,
sigma 584,
sigma 589). The alternative offered by the
Ambrosian Lexicon,
*skh/yios, is equally unlikely: that word is attested as the genitive case of the name of the city of Scepsis (
sigma 590), and as an ethnic adjective (nominative singular masculine) for someone from that city, most frequently the grammarian
Demetrius of Scepsis, who is often referred to simply as
o( *skh/yios ('the Scepsian').
