And elsewhere: "[he was] applying writings showing the excellence of the man."³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐπιθήσειν· ἀντὶ τοῦ ἐπενεγκεῖν. οὐκ εἰς μακρὰν καὶ παντελῆ ἐπιθήσειν αὐτῷ δίκην ξὺν τοῖς θεοῖς. καὶ αὖθις· ἐπιθεὶς γράμματα δηλοῦντα τὴν τοῦ ἀνδρὸς ἀρετήν.

Notes (2)

The headword, presumably extracted from the first quotation given, is future active infinitive of the verb e)piti/qhmi. The word used to gloss it is an aorist active infinitive.
