Greek original · Adler’s text

Ῥώσαντες· δυναμώσαντες. οἱ δὲ βάρβαροι ῥώσαντες ἑαυτοὺς ἐπὶ τὸ στεγανώτερον, ὡς οὐκέτι Ῥωμαϊκοῖς καὶ διαπεπλασμένοις ὑποπεσούμενοι στρατηγήμασι.

  1. The headword participle is presumably extracted from the quotation.
  2. 1cf. rho 252, rho 266. ↩
  3. 2Presumably quoted from late historiography, but unidentifiable. (Transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti.) ↩
