Notes (3)
- The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is aorist participle, masculine accusative singular, of
filoyuxe/w . The quotation itself is an approximation of Josephus, Jewish War 1.357 (web address 1). - 1Aemilius Portus follows Josephus' text in reading
*)anti/gonon "Antigonus" here. ↩ - 2That is, being afraid to die. ↩
- 3Josephus' text reads
a)gennei/as "baseness" rather than the Suda'sh(gemoni/as . ↩
