Greek original · Adler’s text
Πειθοῖ· πειθοῖ τε ὑπαχθέντες καὶ τῷ δολερῷ τῶν ῥημάτων καταστρατηγηθέντες συνεχώρησάν οἱ περαιωθῆναι τὸν ῥοῦν. ἀλλὰ καὶ πειθοῖ τῇ Ἑλληνικῇ καὶ μούσῃ γεγυμνασμένος ὁ Ἀμβρόσιος.

Notes (2)
- The headword, presumably extracted from the first quotation given (and also illustrated by the second one), is dative singular of the feminine noun
peiqw/ (pi 1441). - 1Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. ↩
- 2(Addendum lacking, Adler reports, in mss FV.) Again, the quotation -- in which Bernhardy thought 'Hellenic' should go with 'literary art' -- is unidentifiable, though Adler's attribution of it to Symeon Metaphrastes is a reasonable conjecture. In any event this individual could be the best-known bearer of the name Ambrosius: St Ambrose (c.337-397), bishop of Milan; or it might be the friend of Origen, Ambrose of Alexandria, mentioned at omega 182 and omega 183. ↩
