ε2038Ἐπεκηρυκεύετοwas sending heralds… with paraphrasing, of two passages where the headword occurs. At Cassius Dio 67.6.5 (= Constantine Porphyrogenitus, Excerpta de legatibus 390.23) the Dacian king Dekebalos/Decebalus (delta 189; cf. delta 344, epsilon 1864, upsilon 483) is …Matched in noteshighshort

ε81Ἐγκατειλεγμένοςcounted among… else generated by something similar; if the latter, perhaps from Cassius Dio 45.7.1 on Julius Caesar (dative).Matched in noteshighshort

ε143Ἔγνωcondemned, convicted… s.v. gignw/skw A.II. [1] Quotation unidentifiable. [2] A version of Cassius Dio 23.79.3; again at mu 18. For the 'Nomantai' (Numantians) see generally nu 453.Matched in noteshighshort

ε252ἘδοῦοιEdouoi, Edui… must be the Gallic Aedui (Aidouoi in Strabo, Appian and Cassius Dio); see generally OCD(4) s.v.Matched in noteshighshort

ε344Ἐκκαλεῖταιcalls out, provokes… by Adler, who declared rash Mai's attribution of it to Cassius Dio. Latterly Favuzzi [see under alpha 1596] 198-199 canvasses the likelihood, on vocabulary grounds, of Appian, Dio, and John of Antioch, and argues …Matched in noteshighmedium

ε459Ἐκλεκτόςchosen, selected… 1.113.22. The form e)/klektos occurs as a proper name in Cassius Dio and Herodian; as an adjective, it can be found in two alchemic texts (Fragm. Alch. 2.334.17; Moses 2.314.9 Berthelot-Ruelle). But cf. in …Matched in noteshighmedium

ε463Ἐκλειπίαfailure, lack (of something)… of the two tribunes who had murdered his predecessor Caligula (Cassius Chaerea and Cornelius Sabinus). [1] The noun sugxw/rhsis commonly means "concession" or "agreement" (see LSJ s.v.), but here something closer to "act of …Matched in noteshighshort

ε504Ἑκμήνῳsix-month… presumably extracted from the quotation given. [2] An approximation of Cassius Dio 55.31.1 (about Augustus).Matched in noteshighshort

ε627Ἐκ συγκειμένουby agreement… [Polybius] fr. 133 Büttner-Wobst -- or rather a fragment of Cassius Dio, corresponding to his 65.11.5. See Favuzzi [cited under alpha 1990] 57. Casaubon attributed this fragment to Polybius (Büttner-Wobst, p. 532), but Büttner-Wobst …Matched in noteshighshort

ε984Ἐμηνίωνthey were wrathful… 983, mu 956). It must be quoted from somewhere, perhaps Cassius Dio (as epitomized) on the troops' hostility towards the praetorian prefect (and would-be emperor) Tigidius Perennis.Matched in noteshighshort

ε1055Ἐμποίνιμοςpunishable… this quotation (quoted already in part at epsilon 239) to Cassius Dio; Gaisford, to Eunapius; and latterly Favuzzi [see under alpha 1596] 208-209 on vocabulary-based grounds to Aelian. In any event this 'Saturninus' is …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1094Ἐναγισμοίsacrifices… 19.272 (web address 1); after the execution of Chaireas. [3] Cassius Dio 65.13.5 (an imaginary conversation between the soldiers of these two imperial rivals), with the related noun e)nagi/smata.Matched in noteshighshort

ε1220Ἐνεδέχοντοthey accepted… given. [2] Valckenaer attributed this quotation to Polybius; Mai, to Cassius Dio; Gaisford associated it with delta 1478 (Aelian fr. 6 Hercher). With the aid of the TLG it can in fact be identified …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1319Ἐνήρης ναῦςoar-powered ship… given. [3] Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti de legationibus 417.6-7; attributed to Cassius Dio by Adler but in fact an approximation of Plutarch, Sulla 24.1.Matched in noteshighshort

ε1402Ἐνοχλῶ σοιI harass you… Demosthenes 18.4 (and frequently in Attic oratory generally). [2] Perhaps Cassius Dio, Adler suggested. In fact an approximation (the imperfects should be present participles) of Arrian, Iberica 262.Matched in noteshighshort

ε1577Ἐξαιρετέαto be removed… translate the Latin gerundive delenda. See further, next note. [2] Cassius Dio 17.59.1. (On Carthage, see generally kappa 444 and kappa 445.) The admonition delenda est Carthago is actually associated with Cato the Censor, …Matched in noteshighshort

ε1752Ἐξησθενηκόταςbeing exhausted… the quotation given. [2] [Polybius] fr. 143 Büttner-Wobst (attributed to Cassius Dio by Mai -- rashly, in Adler's opinion). Büttner-Wobst notes (532) that Küster reckoned the fragment to be Polybian, but that Schweighäuser remained …Matched in noteshighshort
