Notes
- A sentence fragment wrenched from the text of Synesius, Epistle 73 (221B Hercher, translation at web address 1), which contains two interesting textual issues:
(1) Whereas the Suda and most mss of Synesius begin the relative clauseo(\s a)\n mh\... ("who does not..."), a few mss of Synesius haveo(\s d' a)\n mh\... ("and who does not..."), which makes better sense and has led to the supplementation of "[and]" in the translation above.
(2) The last word of that same clause is accented asparanomw=n in the Suda (and the translation follows that reading), but the mss of Synesius haveparano/mwn , which would make the clause read "who does not bring charges for illegalities" (cf. the classical Atheniangrafh\ panano/mwn : gamma 439, etc.).
Note that this passage of Synesius is the only pre-Suda attestation of the headword, a verbal adjective from a rare compound verbe)kkeleu/w (see alpha 3485).
