Οὐ γὰρ ἀργίας ὤνιονὑγίεια καὶ ἀπραξίας, ἅ γε δὴ μέγιστα κακῶν ταῖς νόσοις πρόσεστι, καὶ οὐδὲν διαφέρει τοῦ τὰ ὄμματα τῷ μὴ διαβλέπειν καὶ τὴν φωνὴν τῷ μὴ φθέγγεσθαι φυλάττοντος ὁ τὴν ὑγίειαν ἀχρηστίᾳ καὶ ἡσυχίᾳ σῴζειν οἰόμενος → For health is not to be purchased by idleness and inactivity, which are the greatest evils attendant on sickness, and the man who thinks to conserve his health by uselessness and ease does not differ from him who guards his eyes by not seeing, and his voice by not speaking

French (Bailly abrégé)

ης (ἡ) :
blatte, insecte.
Étymologie: DELG étym. inconnue.

Greek Monolingual

η / ΝΑ και τίλφη Α
γένος, σύμφωνα με τη σύγχρονη επιστημονική ταξινόμηση, μαύρων κολεόπτερων εντόμων, με ωοειδές σώμα, της οικογένειας σιλφίδες (α. «οἷον σίλφη καὶ ἐμπὶς καὶ τὰ κολεόπτερα», Αριστοτ.
β. «σίλφην ἢ ἐμπίδα ἢ κυνόμυιαν γενέσθαι», Λουκιαν.)
αρχ.
1. το σκουλήκι, ο σκόρος τών βιβλίων

Greek Monotonic

σίλφη: ἡ, είδος εντόμου, σκαθαριού, «βρομούσα», Λατ. blatta, σε Λουκ.· επίσης, tinea, είδος σκώρου που κατέτρωγε τα βιβλία, στον ίδ., σε Ανθ.

Dutch (Woordenboekgrieks.nl)

σίλφη -ης, ἡ kakkerlak; ook boekenwurm.

Russian (Dvoretsky)

σίλφη:
1) таракан Arst., Luc.;
2) книжная моль Anth.

Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: name of an insect, cockroach, carrion beetle (Arist., Gal., Ael., AP).
Other forms: τίλφη (Luc.).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: No etymology; τίλφη in Luc. can be an artificial Atticism (cf. Schwyzer 319). Form and meaning look a bit like σέρφος (s. v.). -- The τ\/σ is clearly a Pre-Greek variation. Furnée 167 etc. points to Lat. delpa, which may have the same source.

Middle Liddell

σίλφη, ἡ,
an insect, blatta, Luc.: also = tinea, a book-worm, Luc., Anth.

Frisk Etymology German

σίλφη: {sílphē}
Forms: τίλφη (Luk.).
Grammar: f.
Meaning: N. eines Insekts, Schabe, Aaskäfer (Arist., Gal., Ael., AP),
Etymology : Ohne Etymologie; τίλφη bei Luk. kann künstlicher Attizismus sein (vgl. Schwyzer 319). Form und Bedeutung erinnern einigermaßen an σέρφος (s. d.).
