Notes (2)

  1. 1= Synagoge, Photius pi697 Theodoridis. The headword is the present middle participle, nominative singular masculine, of perii/sthmi (on which see also pi 1163). It must be extracted from somewhere (but not from the quotation given here, which has the imperfect middle indicative, third person singular); there are numerous possibilities. ↩
  2. 2A close approximation of Josephus, Jewish Antiquities 4.151 (see web address 1). ↩
