Περιβαλόμενος· προσπορισάμενος. περιβαλόμενος δὲ πολλὴν λείαν ἐπῆγεν ἐπὶ τὸ νεόκτιστον φρούριον. ὁ δὲ Ἀπολλώνιος τὸ Λεωνίδου σῆμα τοῦ Σπαρτιάτου οὐ περιέβαλε μόνον, ἀγασθεὶς τὸν ἄνδρα. καὶ αὖθις· καὶ πλοῦτον περιβάλλει ἀνδρὶ πένητι μέν, εὐσεβεῖ δὲ καὶ ἀεὶ θεραπεύοντί οἱ τὸν νεών. καὶ αὖθις· ἐν ὀλίγῳ χρόνῳ πολλὴν σοφίαν περιβαλόμενος.

Notes (5)
- The headword, presumably extracted from the first quotation given (and also illustrated by the final one), is the aorist middle participle, masculine nominative singular, of the verb
periba/llw , I throw about, around, over; I put on); cf. pi 1078, pi 1079, and see generally LSJ s.v. [In her critical apparatus Adler reports that mss AFGM transmit the present particpleperiballo/menos .] - 1The gloss -- this exact form attested only here -- is another aorist middle participle, again in the masculine nominative singular, but from the verb
prospori/zw , I procure, supply besides; see generally LSJ s.v. ↩ - 2A close approximation of Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Roman Antiquities 9.15.5. See on this Theodoridis' Photius edition, vol.II p.LXXIX. ↩
- 3Philostratus, Life of Apollonius of Tyana 4.23 (with the active voice of the headword verb); cf. pi 1111. The text reads
mononou\ rather than the Suda'sou) ... mo/non : "he all but embraced the tomb." On Leonidas, Spartan king c.490-480 BCE, see lambda 272 and generally OCD(4) s.v. Leonidas(1). ↩ - 4Aelian fr. 318 Hercher (315e Domingo-Forasté). [Adler reports that this quotation is lacking in ms G, and that ms V transmits
plou/tw| , in wealth he provides....] ↩ - 5Following Damascius, Life of Isidore fr. 62 Zintzen (49 Athanassiadi, p. 140-1). ↩
