Notes (1)
- The headword adjective is dative plural, presumably extracted from the quotation given. (In ps.-Zonaras headword and gloss are in the nominative/accusative.)↩
- 1Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable; but for the Maurousians (Mauretanians, Moors) of what is now Libya see mu 298.
