, A.Pr. 843 shd. be referred to φαίνω: [tense] aor. ἐφάθην ([etym.] ἀπ-, κατ-) Arist.Int. 18b39. The [tense] pres. indic. φημί is enclit., exc. in [ per.] 2sg. [tense] pres. φῄς: φαμέν is [ per.] 1pl. [tense] pres., φάμεν poet. inf.: φαντί is [ per.] 3pl., φάντι part.

II φάσκω supplied all moods of [tense] pres. except the indic., also [tense] impf. ἔφασκον; cf. ἠμί. [ᾰ, except in φᾱσι, and in masc. and fem. part. φάς, φᾶσα: in inf. φάναι ᾰ always; φᾶναι is corrupt in Eub.119.11 codd. Ath.]:—say, affirm, assert, either abs., or folld. by inf., e. g. Λυσίθευς Μικίωνα φιλῖν ( = -εῖν)

φησι IG12.924

, cf. 57.48, or acc. et inf.; the inf. is freq. omitted, σὲ κακὸν καὶ ἀνάλκιδα φήσει (sc. εἶναι) Il.8.153; also Κορινθίους τί φῶμεν; what shall we say of them? X.HG3.5.12;

φ. πρός τινα, πρὸς ξεῖνον φάσθαι ἔπος ἠδ' ἐπακοῦσαι Od.17.584

: less freq. c. dat.,

αὐτοῖς Ev.Matt.13.28

; κατά τινος φ. to speak against him, X.Ap.25: sts. folld. by ὡς, Lys.7.19, v.l. in X. HG6.3.7; by ὅτι, Pl.Grg. 487d, Corn.ND30; by an interrog. clause,

μή ποτε φάσῃς ὅ τι γίνεται αὔριον Simon.

l.c.; by part., dub. in Pl. Grg. 481c (fort. leg. θῶμεν); also parenthetic,

τίνες, φῄς, ἦσαν οἱ λόγοι; Pl.Phd. 59c

.

b since what one says commonly expresses a belief or opinion, think, deem, suppose,

φῆ γὰρ ὅ γ' αἱρήσειν Πριάμου πόλιν Il. 2.37

; φαίης κε ζάκοτόν τέ τιν' ἔμμεναι ἄφρονά τε you would say, would think, he was.., 3.220; ἶσον ἐμοὶ φάσθαι to say he is (i. e. fancy himself) equal to me, 1.187, 15.167; μὴ.. φαθὶ λεύσσειν think not that you see, Theoc.22.56; τί φῄς; what say you? i.e. what think you? (v. infr. 11.5);

λέγ' ἀνύσας ὅ τι φῄς Ar.Pl. 349

:—so φ. δεῖν, φ. χρῆναι, deem it right, And.3.34, Isoc.3.48.

c say, i.e. write, of an author,

ὡς ἔφημεν Gal.1.158

, etc.—The [voice] Med. has all these senses as well as the [voice] Act.

II Special Phrases:

1 φασί, they say, it is said, Il.5.638, Od.6.42, etc.; parenthetically, Arist.EN 1109a35, Men.Epit. 223, etc.: Prose writers use φησί when quoting, D.23.89, etc.; φησίν saith He, 1 Ep.Cor.6.16; esp. of an opponent's objection, Plu.2.112c; even after a plural,

ὅ τοίνυν μέγιστον ἔχειν οἴονται.. καὶ αὐτός, φησί, τῶν εἰσιόντων ἦσθα Lib.Or.52.39

; "τὸν δὲ μετ' εἰσενόησα, ἔφη Ὅμηρος as H. said, Pl.Prt. 315b.

2 joined with a synon. Verb, ἔφη λέγων, ἔφησε λέγων, Hdt.3.156, 6.137, etc.;

ἔλεγε φάς Id.1.122

; λέγει οὐδέν, φαμένη .. Id.2.22;

τί ἐροῦμεν ἢ τί φήσομεν; D.8.37

, cf. 25.100;

τί φῶ; τί λέξω; E.Hel. 483

.

3 in repeating dialogues the Verb commonly goes before its subject, ἔφην ἐγώ, ἔφη ὁ Σωκράτης, said I, said S., but the order is sts. inverted, ἐγὼ ἔφην, ὁ Σωκράτης ἔφη, I said, S. said.

4 inserted parenthetically, though the sentence has been introduced by λέγει, εἶπεν, etc.,

ὁ Ἰσχόμαχος.. εἶπεν· ἀλλὰ παίζεις μὲν σύ γε, ἔφη X.Oec.17.10

, cf. Pl.Chrm. 164e;

ἡ κρίσις.. διαρρήδην λέγει διότι, φησίν, ἔδοξε τἀληθῆ εἰσαγγεῖλαι Lys.13.50

.

5

τί φημί; S.OT 1471

, and

τί φῄς; Ph. 804

, E.Hel. 706 (dub.), are used extra metrum, as exclamations.

6 κυριώτατα φάναι, in parenthesis, strictly speaking, Ph.2.374; ὡς οὕτω φάναι, = ὡς εἰπεῖν, ἅπασαι ὡς οὕτω φάναι practically all, Gal.Vict.Att.9; συνελόντα (v.l. -όντι) φάναι, = συνελόντι εἰπεῖν, Id.16.502.

7 Οἰδίπουν.. ἂν μόνον φῶ if I only mention Oedipus, Antiph.191.6, cf. Pl.Cra. 411a, 435a.

III like κατάφημι, say yes, affirm, assert, καὶ τοὺς φάναι and they said yes, Hdt.8.88;

καί φημι κἀπόφημι S.OC 317

;

ἔγωγέ φημι Pl. Grg. 526c

;

φάναι τε καὶ ἀπαρνεῖσθαι Id.Tht. 165a

: c. inf.,

φῂς ἢ καταρνεῖ μὴ δεδρακέναι τάδε; S.Ant. 442

; but οὔ φημι means say no, deny, refuse, c. inf., ἡ Πυθίη οὐκ ἔφη χρήσειν said she would not.., Hdt.1.19, cf. 8.2;

οὐκ ἔφασαν ἐπιτρέψαι Lys.13.15

, 47 (leg. - τρέψειν): c. acc. et inf.,

οὔ φημ' Ὀρέστην σ' ἐνδίκως ἀνδρηλατεῖν A.Eu. 221

, cf. Hdt.2.63: abs., κἂν μὲν μὴ φῇ if he says no, Ar.Av. 555 (anap.); ἢ φάθι ἢ μὴ ἃ ἐρωτῶ answer me yes or no, Pl.Grg. 475e; so in answers, φημί or

οὕτως φημί

yes,

Id.Phdr. 270c

, al., Grg. 500e; οὐκ ἔφη he said no, Id.Phd. 118a.— In this sense [dialect] Att. writers, besides [tense] pres., mostly use [tense] fut. φήσω and [tense] aor. ἔφησα, but in [tense] impf., inf., and part. [tense] pres., to avoid ambiguity, they prefer ἔφασκον, φάσκειν, φάσκων (v. φάσκω): φάναι is distd. fr. φάσκειν, e.g. ἔφη σπουδάζειν he said he was in haste, ἔφασκε σπουδάζειν he alleged he was in haste; but ἔφησθα is found in this sense, X.An.1.6.7.

IV command, order,

ἔφην τῷ Ὀρθοβούλῳ ἐξαλεῖψαί με Lys.16.13

(so ἔφασαν, v. l. for ἔφρασαν in X.Cyr.4.6.11).

ψήφ-ισμα, ατος, τό, [dialect] Dor. [full] ψάφιγμα [ψᾱ] Inscr.Cret.1. v 20 A17 (Arcades, ii B.C.); written [[full] ψ] άπιγμα Supp.Epigr.4.171.53 (Tymnus, v/iv B.C.):—

A proposal passed by a majority of votes: esp. measure passed by a popular assembly, decree, act, A. Supp. 601 (pl.), Ar.Ach. 536, al.: c. gen. suasoris, the decree proposed by him,

τὸ Καννωνοῦ ψ. Id.Ec. 1090

, cf. And.1.27: but τὸ Μεγαρέων ψ. the decree concerning them, Th.1.140 (more freq. τὸ περὶ Μ. ψ. ib. 139, cf. X.HG2.1.32); also

τὸ ψ. τὸ διὰ τὰς λαικαστρίας Ar.Ach. 536

; ἐγένετο ψ. μὴ ἐξεῖναι .. X.HG2.2.15; ψ. γράφειν bring in a decree, Ar.Nu. 1429; ψ. ἐπιψηφίζειν put it to the vote, Aeschin.2.84; ψ. νικᾶν carry it, Id.3.68; ψ. καθαιρεῖν rescind it, Th.1.140; ἐξαλεῖψαι, ἀφελέσθαι, And.1.76, 2.24: prop. concerned with special circumstances (

οὐδὲν ἐνδέχεται ψ. εἶναι καθόλου Arist.Pol. 1292a37

); opp. νόμος (general law, statute),

νόμους καὶ ψηφίσματα Pl.Tht. 173d

;

ὅταν τὰ ψ. κύρια ᾖ ἀλλὰ μὴ ὁ νόμος Arist.Pol. 1292a6

;

περὶ ἐνίων ἀδύνατον θέσθαι νόμον, ὥστε ψηφίσματος δεῖ Id.EN 1137b29

;

ψηφισμάτων οὐδ' ὁτιοῦν διαφέρουσιν οἱ νόμοι, ἀλλὰ νεώτεροι οἱ νόμοι, καθ' οὓς τὰ ψ. δεῖ γράφεσθαι, τῶν ψ. αὐτῶν D.20.92

.

II generally, decree, law,

θεῶν ψ. παλαιόν Emp.115

, cf. Ar.V. 378 (lyr.), Lexap.And.1.96, LXXEs.3.7, al.

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `to draw, to trail, to drag, to pull, to ravish, to sweep'(IA.).

Other forms: Aor. σῦραι, pass. σῠρῆναι (late), fut. συρῶ (LXX), perf. σέσυρμαι, - κα (hell. a. late).

Compounds: Very often w. prefix in diff. shades of meaning, e.g. δια- (also `to hackle, to mock'), ἐπι- (also `to be, treat neglectful etc.'), κατα-, παρα-. As 1. member in σύργαστρος (s.v.)?

Derivatives: 1. σύρμα ( ἀπό-, ἐπί-, παρά-, περί-) n. `train-dress, sweepings, dragging movement' (Ion., X., hell. a. late) with συρμα-τῖτις κόπρος `manure-heap consisting of sweepings' (Thphr.; Redard 109), - τικη φωνή `drawn-out accent' (VII<sup>p</sup>), - τὶς στρατιά ἡ τὰ συμψήγματα καὶ φρύγανα σύρουσα καὶ συλλέγουσα H. 2. συρμός ( ἐπι-, περι-, ὑπο-) m. `grinding, dragging, pulling movement' (of a wind, a gulf, a meteor, a snake a.o.; Arist. etc), `the vomiting' (Nic.); δια- σύρω `the pulling apart, to bemock' (hell. a. late); from this συρ-μάδες f. pl. `snowdrifts' (late), - μαία, Ion. - μαίη f. `vomitive, radish' (Ion., Ar. etc.), also name of a Lacon. priestrank (inscr., H.), with - μαΐζω `to take a vomitive', -μαϊσμός m. (Hdt., medic.), - μίον λάχανόν τι σελίνῳ ἐοικός H., - μιστήρ ξυλο-πώλης H. 3. συρμή f. `trailing tail of a snake' (sch.). -- 4. σύρ-της m. `towing-rope' (Man., H.), - τῶν gen. pl. (nom. sg. - της or - τός) name of a dance (Akraiphia I<sup>p</sup>), διασύρ-της m. `slanderer' (Ptol.), δια-, ἐκ-συρτικός (hell. a. late). 5. ἀνασυρτ-όλις f. `lewd woman' (Hippon.; cf. οἰφόλις and Chantraine Form. 237 f.). 6. Prob. also Σύρτις f. name of a sea-gulf on the northcoast of Africa with sandy shores and dangerous breakers (Hdt. etc.) as "the pulling one" (cf. v. Wilamowitz on Tim. Pers. 99); metaph. `destruction' (Tim. Pers. 99, H.). 7. σύρσις f. ( διά- σύρω) `the drawing of a plough' (late). -- With φ -enlargement: 8. σύρφη φρύγανα H. 9. συρφ-ετός m. `sweepings, filth' (Hes., Call., Plu. a.o.), `rabble' (Pl. a.o.) with - ετώδης `vulgar' (Plb., Luc. a.o.); cf. νιφετός a.o.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: Prob. to σαίρω `sweep' (s. v. w. lit.), but without certain cognates outside Greek. With σύρφ-η, - ετός, - αξ one compares a Germ. word for `sweep, turn (sweep turning), wipe off' in Goth. af-, bi-swairban ' εξαλεῖψαι, ἐκμάξαι', OHG swerban `drive quickly to and fro, whirl, wipe off' etc., to which also Celt., e.g. Welsh chwerfu `whirl, turn around' (Persson Stud. 55, WP. 2, 529f., Pok. 1050f. w. lit.). The semant. certainly possible connection presents the same phonetic problem as σέλας, σῦς etc. (s. vv.). In auslaut agrees σύρφη, prob. not accidentally, to the synonymous κάρφη; so formally influenced by it? An old variation bh: m in σύρ-φη: συρ-μός (Specht Ursprung 269) does not help; but it would show Pre-Greek origin -- The connection with σαίρω, both from *tu̯r̥- is hardly convincing.
