Notes (1)

[1] The headword is superlative of the adverb e(ka/s (epsilon 354); cf. scholion on Homer, Iliad 10.113, where it occurs; also Hesychius epsilon1253.
2Procopius, History of the Wars of Justinian 3.2.20 (web address 1), on the story--almost certainly apocryphal--of Roman senators unaware of Alaric's ruse to gain entrance into Rome (August 410 CE); cf. Kaldellis (146-147). On Alaric, Visigothic military leader, ca. 391-410, see PLRE II s.v. Alaricus(1).
