Ἐπήγγελλεν· ἀντὶ τοῦ προσέτασσεν. ὁ δὲ Μίνως πανταχόσε ἔπλει καὶ πολλοῖς ξενίαν ἐπήγγελλεν. ἀντὶ τοῦ ἐνετέλλετο. εἰθισμένον ὂν γράμματα οἰκεῖα τοῖς βιβλίοις ἐντιθέναι, ὅσα ἂν ἐπαγ- γέλλοντος αὐτοῦ γένοιτο. καὶ αὖθις· οὐκ ἔχειν ὀνομάσαι ὁπότε οἱ ἐπήγγειλαν στρατιὰν Ἀραβίοις ἐς τὸ παρασχεῖν ἄκοντας. ἀντὶ τοῦ ὥρισαν.

Notes (4)
- 1Likewise in ps.-Zonaras; very similarly in Lexica Segueriana 258.26 (and, post-Suda, Etymologicum Magnum 353.45-46). The headword is third person singular, imperfect indicative active, of
e)pagge/llw (see also epsilon 2157, and cf. epsilon 1914, epsilon 1915, epsilon 1918, epsilon 2160). It might be extracted from the first quotation given here, though that seems to have its own glossing, ande)ph/ggellen is attested as early as Xenophon, Cyropaedia 7.4.2. ↩ - 2Quotation not attributable with certainty (but perhaps Nicolaus of Damascus; see again at mu 1092). ↩
- 3Procopius, Secret History 6.12; quoted more fully at epsilon 1915. The verb form here is the gen. sing. masc. present active participle. "In accordance with his proclamation" is literally "with him proclaiming it." ↩
- 4Quotation unidentifiable (as well as obscure). The verb form here is aorist indicative active, third person plural. ↩
