Translation

But [the word for a victory-prize is] brabeion.

Βρέβιον. Βραβεῖον δέ.

Betacode

*bre/bion. *brabei=on de/.

For this entry in reverse see beta 512. Here, manuscripts FV have the unglossed headword, as (according to Adler) does the Ambrosian Lexicon. Manuscripts GIT lack the entry altogether. Ps.-Zonaras glosses the word as h( e)pi/tomos kai\ su/ntomos grafh/. brebi/w ga\r kata\ *lati/nous to\ te/mnw "an abridged and concise writing, for brevio according to the Latins [means] I cut." In fact there is a Latin verb brevio "shorten," from the adjective brevis "short."
