Greek Original:
Θυμηδία: τέρψις, τρυφή, εὐφρασία. καὶ Θυμηδούμενοι. οἱ δὲ ὑπὸ συρίγγων καὶ αὐλῶν θυμηδούμενοι μετὰ παίδων καὶ γυναικῶν πρὸς θυμηδίας ἦσαν.
Notes:
[1] Similarly glossed in Photius, Hesychius, and the Lexica Segueriana. The headword is not in LSJ, but see Lampe s.v.
[2] Present middle participle of θυμηδέω , masculine nominative plural, presumably from the quotation which follows.
[3] Adler tentatively attributes this quotation (which Bernhardy considered corrupt) to Aelian.
