Notes (1)
- The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is aorist subjunctive of
ei)sfre/w , third person plural active. cf. generally epsiloniota 254, epsiloniota 255, epsiloniota 331, epsiloniota 332. - 1Quotation attributed by Adler to Aelian. In fact, as a TLG search reveals, it comes from ch.25 (VII p.239c) of the emperor Julian's speech In response to Herakleios the Cynic. See on this Theodoridis' Photius edition, vol.II pp.LXXXII-LXXXIII. ↩
