Notes (1)
- The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is the adverb relating to the adjective
perikah/s . LSJ s.v. gives several instances of it in the sense illustrated here. - 1Müller, following Boissonade, attributed this quotation to Eunapius of Sardis, due to his use of the word in a less vulgar sense elsewhere (Müller, FHG 109 vol. 4 p.56). ↩
