Notes (2)

  1. 1The headword is aorist passive subjunctive of katapi/mprhmi, third person singular, presumably from the quotation given. ↩
  2. 2Aelian fr. 70k Domingo-Forasté, part of 67 Hercher (not initially identified by Adler but noted in her addenda). Tiberius Hemsterhuys (1685-1766) recognized that this fragment refers to Croesus: cf. kappa 2497, kappa 2498, kappa 2499, kappa 2500. ↩
