Greek display:    
Headword: Σάραβον
Adler number: sigma,110
Translated headword: sarabon, sarabos
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Comic poets call female genitals [this]; also σάκτας and σάβυττος and σέληνος ["celery"] and ταῦρος ["bull"][1] and many other words.
Greek Original:
Σάραβον: τὸ γυναικεῖον αἰδοῖον οἱ κωμικοὶ καλοῦσι: καὶ σάκταν καὶ σάβυττον καὶ σέληνον καὶ ταῦρον καὶ ἕτερα πολλά.
Notes:
Same entry in Photius. If this term is the masculine noun it is taken to be in LSJ, such entries must be quoting, as their headword, its accusative case; likewise Comica Adespota fr.1137 Kock (contextless); but it seems to be regarded as neuter by J. Henderson, The Maculate Muse (New Haven 1975) 146 #188 (and 148 n.205).
