spanistoi=s, made scanty, given scantily: so Philostratus (circ. 235 A.D.) p. 611 a)/rwma...spanisto/n, "rare." This implies spani/zw ti as="to make a thing scanty" or rare, which occurs in Greek of the 2nd cent. B.C. (Philo Byzant. De septem mirabil. 4): cp. Shaksp. Lear 1. 1. 281 "you have obedience scanted." For a different use see Strabo 15. 727 (a land) spanisth\ karpoi=s, "poor in...," implying spani/zw tina/ as="to make one needy," whence the perf. pass. e)spani/smeq' a)rwgw=n (Aesch. Pers. 1024): and here again cp. Shaksp. Merch. 2. 1. 17 "if my father had not scanted me."

ne/as trofh=s e)/lhce, ceased to need the tender care which is given to children. ne/a trofh/, here, "the nurture (not "growth") of the young": so Ai. 510 ne/as | trofh=s sterhqei/s, bereft of the tendance which childhood needs: El. 1143 (speaking of her brother's infancy) trofh=s | … th\n … a)mfi\ soi\ | pare/sxon. But in O. T. 1 ne/a trofh/ = "last-born nurslings."
kati/sxusen, became strong (ingressive aor.), de/mas, "in body" (acc. of respect). This compound verb, though metrically convenient, seems not to occur elsewhere before the 2nd cent. B.C.: it was usu. intrans., as Polyb. 11. 13 kati/sxuon kai\ tw=| plh/qei kai\ tai=s eu)xeiri/ais (began to prevail in the battle). Evang. Matth. xvi. 18 pu/lai a(/|dou ou) katisxu/ousin au)th

stra/yanta. stra/ptw is not extant in classical Attic, but occurs in Apollonius Rhodius (2nd cent. B.C.) and Oppian (2nd cent. A.D.), also in an Orphic hymn of uncertain date, and in the Anthology. In cases of this kind we should always recollect how incomplete is our knowledge of the classical Attic vocabulary, and allow for the likelihood that the learned Alexandrian poets had earlier warrant for this or that word which, as it happens, we cannot trace above them. (Cp. on a)kore/statos, 120.) With a)stra/ptw and stra/ptw, cp. a)steroph/ and steroph/, a)spai/rw and spai/rw, a)stafi/s and stafi/s, a)/staxus and sta/xus, and many other instances in which the longer form and the shorter both belong to the classical age.
skh/yanta (Forster) is much less forcible: the thought is of the lightningflash breaking forth as a sign in the sky (fle/gei, 1466), rather than of its descent on earth: and this word would hardly have passed into the MS. stre/yanta.
