συαγρίς
ὦ δυσπάλαιστον γῆρας, ὡς μισῶ σ' ἔχων, μισῶ δ' ὅσοι χρῄζουσιν ἐκτείνειν βίον, βρωτοῖσι καὶ ποτοῖσι καὶ μαγεύμασι παρεκτρέποντες ὀχετὸν ὥστε μὴ θανεῖν: οὓς χρῆν, ἐπειδὰν μηδὲν ὠφελῶσι γῆν, θανόντας ἔρρειν κἀκποδὼν εἶναι νέοις → Old age, resistless foe, how do I loathe your presence! Them too I loathe, whoever desire to lengthen out the span of life, seeking to turn the tide of death aside by food and drink and magic spells; those whom death should take away to leave the young their place, when they no more can benefit the world

Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: toothed fish(?) (Epich. 69, Arist., H.).
Other forms: also συναγρίς (Arist.), -ίδος.
Derivatives: Cf. συνοδοντίς as fishname (Strömberg 45) and κρεαγρίς, παναγρίς, governing compound to ἀγρεύω, ἄγρα; the v.l. συαγρίς after σύαγρος (s. on σῦς); this is rather improbable. Ngr. συνακρίδα; on this also Thumb ClassQuart. 8, 193.
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Furnée 123f. starts from σύαξ, -κος, συάκιον n. (Su.); συάκιν (gloss.) kind of flatfish. He takes συναγρίς (Arist.) rather as folketymol. for the form without nasal. The word will then be Pre-Greek.
