Notes (2)
- The headword, presumably (though not demonstrably) extracted from the quotation given, is aorist indicative middle, third person plural, of the verb
pari/sthmi ; see generally LSJ s.v., and cf. pi 569, pi 570, pi 571, alpha 1512. - 1Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. [In her critical apparatus Adler notes that ms V omits
plei/stas , probably a simple slip.] ↩ - 2cf. eta 268. [Adler notes that, instead of
h(/lwsan , mss GM haveei(/lon , they seized.] ↩
