Notes (2)

  1. 1The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is aorist active participle of perine/w [(B) in LSJ], masculine nominative plural. ↩
  2. 2Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable with certainty, though Bernhardy suggested that it might be extracted from Eunapius, writing on the death of Valens (cf. omicron 763, omicron 764). ↩
