Φερομένου· λαμβάνοντος. τὴν αἰτίαν πᾶσαν τοῦ πολέμου τούτου τοῦ ἀνδρὸς φερομένου. καὶ Φέρονται, ἀντὶ τοῦ νικῶσι. καὶ φέρονται οἱ πλούσιοι τὸ πλέον· συλλαβόντες δὲ τῶν δημοτῶν εἰς ψʹ δήσαντες ἄγουσι. καὶ Φερόμενος· ἀνὴρ γένος μὲν φερόμενος Θρᾴκιον, ᾧ ὄνομα Διογένης ἦν· τὰ δὲ πολέμια παρ' ὁντινοῦν κράτιστος, τέλους ἱππικοῦ προτεταγμένος.

Notes (6)

  1. The headword (presumably extracted from the first quotation given) is the present middle/passive participle, masculine (and neuter) genitive singular, of the verb fe/rw, I bear, carry, bring, convey; see generally LSJ s.v. and cf. this same headword + gloss combination, but with present active participles, at phi 222.
  2. 1The gloss is the present active participle, masculine (and neuter) genitive singular, of the verb lamba/nw, I take, receive; see generally LSJ s.v. ↩
  3. 2Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as an approximation of Cassius Dio 8.36.8 (cf. Zonaras, Epitome historiarum 2.167.7-8), on the pivotal role of the Samnite (OCD(4) s.v. Samnium; Barrington Atlas map 44 grids F2-G2) noble and military leader Gaius Papius Mutilus (OCD(4) s.v. Papius) during the Social War (also Italic or Marsic, 91-87 BCE; OCD(4) s.v. Social Wars); Last and Gardner, pp. 185 ff. [In her critical apparatus Adler reports that mss FV omit pa=san (entire).] ↩
  4. 3This secondary lemma is the present indicative passive, third person plural, of the verb fe/rw (see primary note above), which in this context appears to have the connotation of I succeed; see generally LSJ s.v. ↩
  5. 4Aelian fr. 51 Hercher (54a Domingo-Forasté, p. 48); cf. Hercher, p. 7. The fragment is unplaced. [Adler notes that from sullabo/ntes (by their having brought) up to the end of the passage is omitted by ms F.] ↩
  6. 5The last lemma embedded in the body of the passage is the present middle/passive participle, masculine nominative singular, of the headword verb (see primary note above). ↩
  7. 6Quotation unidentifiable. [Adler reports that ms G transmits the alternative spelling o(ntinaou=n (cf. pi 694) and that mss AV transmit te/los.] ↩
