Ἀπειπών· ἐντειλάμενος. ἀπειπὼν μηδενὶ φράζειν τὸ γεγονός. καὶ Αἰλιανός· ὀλίγοι μὲν ἀπεῖπον πεμφθῆναί οἱ τὸν θρίαμ- βον. ἢ Ἀπειπών, ἀποκαμὼν, ἀπαγορεύσας. ὀρρωδοῦντες, μή τις αὐτῶν ἀπειπὼν τοῖς παροῦσι, κίνδυνον ἀναρρίψας ὑπαναφῆναι δυνηθῇ τρίτος, ὅσπερ ἔμελλε δικαιώσειν αὐτούς.

- The headword participle is presumably extracted from the first quotation given -- on which see n.1 below.↩
See also alpha 3124, alpha 3126.- 1Adler tentatively attributed this quotation to Aelian, but TLG searching raises two other possibilities. (a) C. Theodoridis in his Photius edition (vol.II p.XVC) suggests Procopius, Secret History 16.17 (web address 1), where
a)peipw\n mhdeni\ fra/zein occurs. (b) The present translator independently suggests Herodotus 3.153.1, wherea)pei/pas toi=s i)dou=si mhdeni\ fra/zein to\ gegono/s occurs (Zopyrus enjoins silence upon those who had seen a mule giving birth to a foal: web address 2). Given Procopius' well-recognised debt to Herodotus -- see Averil Cameron, Procopius (1985) index s.v. -- it might be that P.'s phrase here is an echo, probably unconscious, of H.'s. ↩- 2Aelian fr. 123g Domingo-Forasté (part of 120 Hercher). ↩
