Notes (2)

  1. 1The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is present active participle of proko/ptw, masculine accusative singular. This figurative sense of it is noted in LSJ s.v. ↩
  2. 2Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. Without context, we cannot determine what "the seventh" is. ↩
