Greek original · Adler’s text
Λιφαιμεῖ· αἱμορροεῖ. λείπει τῷ αἵματι. Ἀππιανός· ὁ δὲ Κελτὸς ἀγανακτῶν καὶ λιφαιμῶν ἐδίωκε τὸν Βαλέριον, συγκαταπεσεῖν ἐπειγόμενος· ὑπὸ δὲ τοὺς πόδας ἀναχωροῦντος ἀεὶ τοῦ Βαλερίου κατέπεσε πρηνὴς ὁ Κελτός. καὶ δεύτερον τοῦτο μονομάχιον ἐπὶ Κελτοῖς ἐμεγαλαύχουν οἱ Ῥωμαῖοι.

Notes (2)
- For the headword verb
lifaime/w see LSJ s.v. - 1The same material, so far, in Synagoge lambda122, Photius lambda364 Theodoridis; cf. Hesychius lambda1136. The headword itself -- third person singular, present indicative active, of the verb
lifaime/w -- is evidently quoted from somewhere (not necessarily Appian, to whom it is attributed in the LSJ simply because of the quotation below, which has the corresponding present participle). ↩ - 2Appian, Celtica fr. 10. Presumably from Appian's version of the story of Valerius Corvinus' duel (cf. alpha 1685, kappa 1307, kappa 2070). ↩
