What it meant

This reads as a proper name — a river, a person, a place — held only because the corpus attests it. It stands outside the library's subject, the vocabulary of the soul, so no lexicon entry is recorded.

Where it came from

• Beekes, Etymological Dictionary of Greek (Brill 2010) Treated in Beekes, Etymological Dictionary of Greek (Brill 2010) s.v. Σφίγξ (scan pp. 1482-1483; entry #5894).
