Notes (1)
- 1A close approximation --
to\ spoudazo/menon should be plural -- of Josephus, Jewish Antiquities 2.231 (via Constantine Porphyrogenitus, Excerpta de virtutibus 1.40), in reference to the effect on passers-by of the sight of the youthful Moses. For the headword infinitive see also Josephus, Jewish War 4.591. LSJ s.v. mysteriously cites, besides, 'Anon. ap Suid.' ↩
