1913 Jrnl. Hellenic Stud. 33 38 How could a seven-stringed instrument play an eight-note scale? The answer would appear to be that the upper octave of the lowest note was ‘magadised’, i.e. played as a harmonic, on the lowest string. The evidence for such a statement..must be confined to a single testimony, that of Aristotle (Prob. xix. 18): ‘Why is the concord of the octave alone sounded (on the lyre)? For they magadise that, but no other.’
1947 Proc. Royal Music Assoc. 74th Sess. 29 I am supposing..that Greek music was monodic unless ‘magadised’ in octaves.
1999 J. G. Landels Music in Anc. Greece & Rome ii. 41 Until recently it was thought that the magadis was a stringed instrument of the harp type,..and that the technical term magadizein (to ‘magadize’), which meant to double a melody in octaves, was derived from the name of the instrument.
