Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἀνίει· ἠφίει, ἐνεδίδου, ἐχαυνοῦτο. οὐδέν τι πλέον ἀνίει ὁ νεανίας. καὶ αὖθις· ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἀνίει τοῦ δρόμου. καὶ ἀντὶ τοῦ ἔληγεν. ὁ δὲ ἱκετεύων ὑπὲρ πάντων οὐκέτι ἀνίει. καὶ αὖθις· ὁ δὲ ζητῶν οὐκ ἀνίει καὶ λαμβάνων οὐκ ἐνεπίμπλατο. καὶ αὖθις· ὁ δὲ κακούμενος πλέον ἤπερ διατιθεὶς ὅμως οὐκ ἀνίει. καὶ αὖθις· οἱ δὲ τὸ πολὺ τῆς τόλμης παρεληλύθεισαν. οὐ μὴν ἀνίεσάν γε, ἀλλὰ παρακελευόμενοι σφίσιν αὐτοῖς πάσῃ δυνάμει προσέκειντο τῇ πολιορκίᾳ. καὶ αὖθις· μήτε νύκτωρ μήτε μεθ' ἡμέραν ἐπανιέντι τοῦ πλοῦ.

Notes (7)
- The headword verb (third person singular imperfect active of↩
a)ni/hmi ) is illustrated by the first five of the quotations given.- 1Agathias, Histories 5.21, on the young Byzantine military leader Germanus; more fully at omicron 782. On Germanus, see also alpha 3435, alpha 4595, pi 1522, pi 2901, sigma 1653, and tau 881. ↩
- 2Quotation unidentifiable. (Adler rejects a suggested attribution to Damascius). ↩
- 3Procopius, History of the Wars of Justinian 2.6.25 (web address 1); on behalf of all the peoples of the East, Megas, the bishop of Beroia (cf. beta 245), continues to implore Chosroes (cf. chi 418) to leave Roman territory; cf. Kaldellis (86). For additional background on the Persian army's sweep through the Byzantine east in 540 CE, see alpha 465 and alpha 2363. ↩
- 4Quotation unidentifiable. ↩
- 5Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as an abbreviation of Josephus, Jewish War 5.10. See on this Theodoridis' Photius edition, vol.II p.LXXXIII. ↩
- 6Quotation unidentifiable. ↩
- 7Perhaps Arrian: see p.50 Roos. (In any event this quotation uses a compound form of the headword verb.)
