Μεταδιδάξαι· τὸ τὴν προτέραν ἀφεῖναι βουλὴν καὶ ἐλθεῖν ἐπ' ἄλλην. καὶ οὔτε μεταδιδάσκοντος ἐπείθοντο τοῦ ἡγεμόνος οὔτε ὀλοφυρομένου καὶ ἱκετεύοντος ἔπασχόν τι πρὸς τὰς δεήσεις.

Notes (2)
- The headword is the aorist active infinitive of
metadida/skw . It must be quoted from somewhere (other than the quotation given, which uses a present participle of this verb); perhaps from Philostratus, Life of Apollonius of Tyana 1.15. - 1No equivalent glossing elsewhere. ↩
- 2Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Roman Antiquities 9.3.5 (referring to Roman soldiers mutinying against Kaeso Fabius Vibulanus). ↩
