Παρακινοῦντα· ἐξιστάμενον. οὐχ οὕτω παρακεκινηκότες καὶ διεφθαρμένοι τὴν γνώμην, ἀλλὰ διὰ τὴν ὑπεροχὴν τῶν κακῶν ἐς Ἰουλιανὸν τὸν Εὐτρόπιον ἀνατιθέμενοι. Εὐνάπιός φησι περὶ Εὐτροπίου τοῦ εὐνούχου. καίτοι παρακινηθεὶς τοῦ προσήκοντος.

- The headword is the present active participle, masculine accusative singular, of the verb
parakine/w (transitively I move aside, but intransitively I am disturbed/beside myself/mad); see generally LSJ s.v. In the form given the headword is absent from the rest of the entry, so it must be quoted from somewhere not specified; extant possibilities begin with Menander, Dyskolos 961). - 1The gloss is the present middle/passive participle (here middle), masculine accusative singular, of the verb
e)ci/sthmi , (I put out of my place); see LSJ s.v. The headword has the same glossing in other lexica; references at Photius pi246 Theodoridis, though in Ph. himself the gloss ise)cista/mena (i.e. the headword is construed as neuter plural. ↩ - 2Flavius Claudius Iulianus 'the Apostate' (331-363 CE), was Roman emperor 361-363 CE; cf. iota 437 and OCD(4) s.v.
