Headword:
*sw=ma
Adler number: sigma,835
Translated headword: body, corpse
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] anything/everything that is dead. The [body] of a living being is called
de/mas ['bodily frame'], because of the fact that it is tied (
sun-dede/sqai) to the soul, as
Homer said. [1]
[Note] that everything which acts upon is a body; and voice, when coming to the listeners from those who emit it, acts [upon the hearers]; therefore, [voice] is a body.[2]
Interpretation of a dream: to purify the whole body indicates a deliverance from cares.[3]

Diogenes Laertius 7.56. This is the argument tending to prove the thesis (maintained by the Stoics Archedemus,
Diogenes, Antipater, and
Chrysippus;
Diogenes Laertius 7.55) that voice is a body.
[3] From the dream-interpretations, in verse, attributed to
Astrampsychus (
alpha 4251).
