Notes (2)
- cf. pi 395.
- 1Aorist active participle (masculine nominative singular) of
paralu/w , presumably from the quotation which follows. ↩ - 2The only attestation of this phrase is in John Chrysostom, Homilies on Genesis (PG 54, 593.59), and Favuzzi [cited under alpha 1990] is satisfied that that is the source. However, as the usage is common enough, the Suda's source may be some lost text, transmitted through the Excerpts made for Constantine Porphyrogenitus. ↩
