Notes (3)
- The headword is genitive plural of the noun
muw/n . Though it occurs in the Procopius quotation given, it is more probably extracted here from Homer, Iliad 16.324; cf. the scholia there. - 1Adapted from parts of Procopius, History of the Wars of Justinian 6.23.37 & 6.23.38 (web address 1); cf. Kaldellis (367). ↩
- 2The selection obscures what is going on. A Moor, the omitted object in this sentence, was dragging off the corpse of a Goth, when another Goth pinned both of the Moor's legs together with a well-aimed shot. ↩
- 3The subject here is the Moor whose legs have been pinned. Between these two sentences several words have been omitted and "coming" (
e)rxo/menos ) here reads "holding" (e)xo/menos ) in Procopius. ↩
