Translation
[Meaning one who is] anticipating, overtaking.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Φθήμενος. προλαβών, καταλαβών.
Betacode
*fqh/menos. prolabw/n, katalabw/n.
Notes
- The headword is aorist middle participle of
fqa/nw (phi 475), masculine nominative singular. Otherwise unattested in this form; Bernhardy suggested emending tofqa/menos , found in e.g. Homer and Hesiod. Either way, evidently quoted from somewhere.
The glossing participles are lacking, Adler reports, in ms A. (For the first of them, cf. e.g. phi 475; for the second, phi 488.)
