Παραπέταλοι· πετάλοις ἐσκεπασμέναι. αἱ δὲ τριήρεις ἦσαν κόσμῳ διαπρεπεῖ, ἀργύρῳ τε τὰ ἔμβολα καὶ χρυσῷ τὰς πρύμνας παραπέταλοι.

Notes (2)

  1. 1The headword adjective, here in the masculine/feminine nominative plural, is presumably extracted from the quotation given (its only attestation). ↩
  2. 2Quotation unidentifiable. (Roos suggested Arrian but did not include it as a fragment.) ↩
