Notes (2)
- After the grammatical point, the first and principal part of this entry differentiates between the present middle participle and the aorist middle participle (both of them masculine nominative singulars) of
a)naba/llw (here bearing different senses -- but see next note).
cf. alpha 1798, alpha 1800. - 1Philostratus, Life of Apollonius of Tyana 4.39. [NB: while this quotation does illustrate
a)nabalo/menos in the sense identified, it could in other circumstances exemplify the 'defer/postpone' sense also. Witness e.g. the remark attributed to Alexander the Great when asked how he had achieved so much:mhde\n a)nabalo/menos .] ↩ - 2Accusative plural, again alpha 1810. ↩
