Πονήσαντα· ἀντὶ τοῦ παλαιωθέντα. Ἀρριανός· τὰ δὲ πονήσαντα αὐταῖς οὐ χαλεπῶς ἐπεσκευάσθη. καὶ αὖθις· πονουμένῳ αὐτῷ περὶ τῆς βασιλείας τῶν Πάρθων ξυμβάλλουσι δύο τινές.

Notes (2)
- The headword, extracted (one may presume) from the first quotation given, is aorist participle, neuter nominative plural (with a singular verb), of
pone/w . - 1Arrian, Parthica fr. 72 Roos-Wirth = FGrH 156 F162. Its sense is not self-evident; the feminine pronoun
au)tai=s (women? cities?) perhaps belongs with the participle rather than the main verb, i.e. "the things that had caused them pain" or suchlike. ↩ - 2Arrian, Parthica fr. 18 Roos-Wirth (containing a present participle, masculine dative singular, of the same verb.) As Adler notes, the mss offer variants here, and Roos prints not
*Pa/rqwn but*Pa/rnwn . (The Parnoi, a.k.a. Aparnoi, are mentioned several times by Strabo.) Either way, this genitive plural might belong with 'kingship', not the main verb. ↩
