Greek original · Adler’s text

Πτοίαν· πτόησιν, θόρυβον, τάραχον, συναθροισμόν, πτυρμόν. καὶ πτοία μέν τις διὰ τὸ ἀδόκητον ἐπέσχε τὸ στρατόπεδον, οἷα μὴ συντεταγμένους.

Notes (2)

  1. The headword is a feminine noun in the accusative singular, presumably extracted from some literary context (but not from the quotation given: see n. 2). For the nominative, with similar glossing, see pi 3057.
  2. 1= Synagoge pi764, Photius pi1480 Theodoridis; cf. Erotianus 107 Klein, Hesychius pi4234 (and other references in Theodoridis). ↩
  3. 2Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta of Constantine Porphyrogenitus) unidentifiable. It contains the nominative singular form of the headword (cf. pi 3057). ↩
