Translation
"But let these things be spoken as preliminary contributions, as they say."
Greek original · Adler’s text
Προσύμβολα· ἀλλὰ ταῦτα μὲν εἰρήσθω προσύμβολα, ὥς φασι.
Betacode
*prosu/mbola: a)lla\ tau=ta me\n ei)rh/sqw prosu/mbola, w(/s fasi.
Notes
- The headword is the plural nominative or accusative -- nominative if drawn from the quotation given -- of a hypothetical neuter noun
prosu/mbolon . This form appears after the Suda in Nicephorus Blemmydes' Autobiography 2.82; otherwise neither this nor any other form of the word is attested.
