Notes (2)
- 1The headword is aorist passive participle of
ste/llw , masculine or neuter genitive singular; neuter if it is extracted from the quotation given. ↩ - 2Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. Adler notes that Bernhardy regarded
oi)kei=a as corrupt; and she herself took the same view of the transmitted "of oxen" (bow=n [ms V] orbw=n ) at the end of the passage, departing from her normal conservatism in textual matters to print instead her own emendationbasile/wn . (It is translated here as 'kings', though 'emperors' may be more appropriate if the context is a Roman imperial one.) ↩
