Προσκοπήν· πρόσκρουσιν. ὁ δὲ τῶν τοῦ βασιλέως φίλων ἐπὶ τοσοῦτον ἐς διαφορὰν ἥκοι καὶ προσκοπήν, ὥστε σπεύδειν αὐτοὺς περιβαλεῖν αὐτὸν ἀνηκέστῳ τινὶ κακῷ.

Notes (1)
- Both the headword (presumably extracted from the quotation given) and the gloss are feminine nouns in the accusative singular.
- 1Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. What appears to be the main verb of the quotation,
h(/koi , is in the optative mood, which might mean different things depending on the context; here it is translated as indirect discourse in secondary sequence. ↩
