Notes (1)
- The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is aorist active participle of
sullamba/nw , masculine nominative singular.
For other senses of the verb, see xi 92. - 1Herodotus 1.63.1 (web address 1). For P. see generally pi 1474 (referring to sigma 1711). In the present passage the prophecy that P. accepts, from an Acarnanian seer, gives him reason to believe that his third attempt to seize power will be successful -- which it was. ↩
