Translation

It is a Macedonian city.¹
Also [sc. attested is the phrase] Anthemousian land. "Trajan drove out as if against the Anthemousian land. For Abgar was directing him to go against this."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀνθεμοῦς· πόλις ἐστὶ Μακεδονική. καὶ Ἀνθεμουσία γῆ. ὁ δὲ Τραϊανὸς ἐξελαύνει ὡς ἐπὶ τὴν Ἀνθεμουσίαν γῆν. ἐπὶ ταύτην γὰρ καὶ Αὔγαρος ὑφηγεῖτο ἰέναι.
