فَقَصَ فُلَانٌ بَيْضَ الفِتْنَةِ [lit. Such a one broke asunder the eggs of sedition, or the like,] is a tropical phrase [meaning (tropical:) such a one originated sedition, &c.]. (A, TA.)

[Golius has assigned to فَقَصَ, constr. with an accusative, another signification (“ assecutus fuit rem ”), as on the authority of the K; apparently from a mistranscription in the explanation of المِفْقَاص, in a copy of that lexicon.]
