Notes
- The headword quotation is unidentifiable in this precise form, but might in fact be faulty. Photius, Lexicon epsilon554 gives it in the singular:
e)/lamyan au)to\n ta\ e)/rga :a)nti\ tou= fanero\n au)to\n e)poi/hsan ("made him famous"); likewise, Adler reports, in mss AF of the Suda; and ps.-Zonaras hase)/lamyan glossed withfanera\ e)ge/nonto and the quotatione)/lamyan ta\ kala\ e)/rga sou . The latter is broadly reminiscent of Matthew 5.16: "let your light so shine (lamya/tw ) before men that they may see your good works (u(mw=n ta\ kala\ e)/rga )".
