Notes
- Likewise in ps.-Zonaras. The headword phrase, independently preserved only in literature of the Roman imperial period (from Josephus onwards), seems confined largely to the sense given in the translation of the headword, rather than that of either of the two glosses. Nevertheless, the phrase is glossed identically in previous lexica: Hesychius (epsilon1608) and the Lexica Segueriana (epsilon214). Perhaps the gloss "out of a victory" is derived from a misreading of such passages as Aelius Aristides 14.30.
