Notes (1)
- The unglossed headword, evidently extracted from the quotation given (which serves as context), is an adverb cognate with the adjective
para/bolos, -on , thrown in alongside, deceitful, exposing oneself, venturesome; see pi 296 (and pi 298), and generally LSJ s.v. - 1Polybius 2.24.1 (where some editions remove 'and afterwards' from the text': web address 1). This prefaces a tabulation of the considerable Roman military resources faced by the forces of Hannibal (OCD(4) s.v. and alpha 2452) in 225 BCE (Walbank, pp. 196-9). ↩
