Notes (2)
- 1The headword adjective, used in the quotation given, is a compound of the adverb palin and the verbal root drom-: LSJ entry at web address 1; and cf. pi 90. ↩
- 2Literally: he took them away as back-running. The quotation, not identified by Adler, is identifiable via the TLG as Diogenes Laertius 2.65: Aristippus [alpha 3908] attempts to send his teacher Socrates some of the money he has earned in fees, but Socrates refuses it. ↩
