Greek original · Adler’s text

Παράλλαξον· πάρελθε. ἡ γὰρ κατὰ μικρὸν παράλλαξις πᾶσαν ποιεῖ φύσιν ὑπερφέρειν τὰς μεταβολάς, ὡς ἐπὶ τῶν ὡρῶν τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ.

Notes (2)

  1. 1= Synagoge; Photius, Lexicon pi266 Theodoridis. Taken to derive from commentary on Proverbs 4:15 LXX, where the headword occurs. (The headword is an aorist active imperative verb, as is the gloss.) The quotation which follows here contains not this verb but a related noun (translated here as "passing-by"). ↩
  2. 2Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as an approximation of Xenophon, Cyropaedia 6.2.29. (The first clause is reproduced accurately, save for the substitution of u(perfe/rein ('overcome') for Xenophon's u(pofe/rein ('tolerate'); the second radically abridges the original.) ↩
