[Used] with a genitive:1 "[...] and not to eat of mutton at all." See in the Life of Saint Savas.2
Also [sc. attested is] fa/gete ["eat!"]; [sc. also used] with a genitive. The proverb [says]: "come, eat of my loaves."3

Greek original · Adler’s text

Φαγεῖν· γενικῇ. μὴ μήλου τε παράπαν φαγεῖν. ζήτει ἐν τῷ τοῦ ὁσίου Σάβα βίῳ. καὶ φάγετε· γενικῇ. ἡ παροιμία· ἔλθετε, φάγετε τῶν ἐμῶν ἄρτων.

  1. Entry lacking, Adler reports, is mss AV (but added in the margin of A).
  2. 1Partitive genitive; cf. phi 11. ↩
  3. 2The Suda gives, it seems, not a direct quotation but a paraphrase of something in Cyril's Vita Sabae: nomoqesi/an ... th=| tou= mh/lou brw/sei mh\ kexrh=sqai. ↩
