Ἀπηξιωμένων· ἀτίμων, ἀναξίων. Τιγράνης ὄνομα τῶν οὐκ ἀπηξιωμένων μʹ παρθένων, εὐνοῦχος δέ. καὶ Ἀπαξιώσας, ἀντὶ τοῦ τὴν ἀξίωσιν παρωσάμενος. τοῦ Χοσρόου τὸ Δάρας οὐκ ἀπαξιώσαντος ἀποκαταστῆσαι Ῥωμαίοις. καὶ Ἀπηξίωσεν, οὐχ ἡγήσατο ἄξιον. Οὐκ ἀπηξίωσε δὲ ἡγήσατο ἄξιον. καὶ αὖθις· τὸ γὰρ πρὸς ἀλκὴν τραπέσθαι πρὸς πάντων τῶν μετασχόντων τῆς βουλῆς ἀπηξιοῦτο.
