Notes (2)
- 1The headword is presumably (though not demonstrably) extracted from the quotation given, where a present singular has a neuter plural subject. For this verb see also pi 2992, pi 2993, pi 2994, pi 2995; and for comparable glossing of other forms of it cf. Hesychius pi4129 and Etymologicum Magnum 693.44-45. ↩
- 2A maxim used twice by Procopius: Secret History 4.44 (cf. web address 1 and Kaldellis (Secret History, 22)) and (missed by Adler) History of the Wars of Justinian 8.12.34 (cf. web address 2 and Kaldellis (Wars of Justinian, 490)). Again, more fully (and more accurately: the present version omits the preposition ek), at tau 1234. ↩
