Greek display:    
Headword: Ψακάζει
Adler number: psi,5
Translated headword: drips
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
[He/she/it] drizzles.[1]
Aristophanes [writes]: "[when] inside there is not by any means at all a drip of silver." Meaning not even the smallest [sc. coin], which is also called a 'snowflake'. Or: since we don't even have an obol.[2]
Greek Original:
Ψακάζει: ῥαίνει. Ἀριστοφάνης: ἔνδον ἀργυρίου μὴ ψακὰς ᾖ πάνυ πάμπαν. ἀντὶ τοῦ οὐδὲ τὸ σμικρότατον, ὃ καὶ νιφὰς καλεῖται. ἢ μηδὲ ὀβολοῦ ὄντος ἡμῖν.
Notes:
[1] Similar material in other lexica. The headword -- third person singular, present indicative, of ψακάζε -- is evidently quoted from somewhere.
[2] Aristophanes, Peace 121 (web address 1), with comment from the scholia there.
