Παραγγέλλοντα· δεχόμενον τὴν ἀρχήν. ὁ δὲ Φάβιος λαβὼν τὴν ἀρχὴν Πόπλιον ἀποδείκνυσιν ὕπατον, οὐδ' αὐτὸν παραγγέλλοντα τὴν ἀρχήν.

Notes (2)
- The headword is present participle, masculine accusative singular, of the verb
paragge/llw ; cf. pi 307, pi 308. It is presumably extracted from the quotation given, but see next note. - 1The use of the headword in the quotation appears to require the definition "seeking office" as opposed to "accepting office". The glossing participle
dexo/menon however is not capable of meaning "seeking". ↩ - 2Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable, but the allusion is apparently to Q. Fabius Maximus Cunctator (dictator 221 BCE) and P. Cornelius Scipio Asina, one of the consuls of that year. ↩
