TA in art. حصر, from the
Expos. of the “ Mufassal ” of

TA.) One says, جَآءَ بِالعِىِّ وَالشِّىِّ [

أَعْيَا الأَطِبَّآءَ [It is as though it disabled, or incapacitated, the physicians; or frustrated their skill; or baffled them]. (
S,
TA.) And a poet says, (namely, 'Amr Ibn-Hassán,
TA) فَإِنَّ الكُثْرَ
أَعْيَانِــى قَدِيمًا وَلَمْ أُقْتِرْ لَدُنْ أَنِّى غُلَامُ [And, or for, abundance of wealth baffled my attempts to obtain it of old; but I have not been poor from the time of my being a boy]: (
