Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἤσθητο· ἀντὶ τοῦ περιεβέβλητο. καὶ ἤσθητο κροκωτὸν χιτῶνα, ὑπὲρ τοῦ πλείονας ἐς αὐτὸν ἐπιστρέφειν. ὁ τοίνυν ἕτερος ἀποθνῄσκων καὶ ἕτερον ἀδελφὸν ἀπολείπων.

Notes (2)

[1] The headword (presumably extracted from the quotation immediately following) is pluperfect middle, third person singular, of e)sqe/w; cf. epsilon 3119, eta 591.
2Quotation (again at kappa 2461) unidentifiable. ↩
3From Aelian fr. 75 Domingo-Forasté (72 Hercher); cf. eta 350, eta 605, kappa 2461. Its relevance to the present entry is a mystery; Adler notes Bernhardy's view that it belongs with eta 605.
