λαισήϊον
Ὥσπερ αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἡλίου μὴ ὄντος καυστικοῦ, ἀλλ' οὔσης ζωτικῆς καὶ ζωοποιοῦ θέρμης ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ἀπλήκτου, ὁ ἀὴρ παθητικῶς δέχεται τὸ ἀπ' αὐτοῦ ϕῶς καὶ καυστικῶς· οὕτως οὖν ἁρμονίας οὔσης ἐν αὐτοῖς τινὸς καὶ ἑτέρου εἴδους ϕωνῆς ἡμεῖς παθητικῶς ἀκούομεν → Just as although the Sun itself does not cause burning but has a heat in it that is life-giving, life-engendering, and mild, the air receives light from it by being affected and burned, so also although there is a certain harmony and a different kind of voice in them, we hear it by being affected.
English (LSJ)
τό,
A animal's skin with hair left on, used as a shield, βοείας ἀσπίδας εὐκύκλους λαισήϊά τε πτερόεντα Il.5.453 = 12.426, cf. Scol.28.2: used by the Cilicians, Hdt.7.91.
German (Pape)
[Seite 7] τό, eine Art Schild, Tartsche, von ἀσπίς unterschieden, wie Il. 12, 426 βοείας ἀσπίδας εὐκύκλους λαισήϊά τε πτερόεντα neben einander stehen; vgl. scol. bei Ath. XV, 695 f; Her. bemerkt 7, 91 von den Kilikiern λαισήϊα εἶχον ἀντ' ἀσπίδων, ὠμοβοέης πεποιημένα; dah. einige alte Grammatiker es von λάσιος ableiten wollten, während Andere an λαιός denken, mit der linken Hand getragen, schwerlich richtig.
French (Bailly abrégé)
