Notes (2)
- 1The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is aorist active participle of
sumbai/nw , masculine nominative singular. Compare Hesychius s.v.sumba/men ; see also sigma 1361, sigma 1362, sigma 1364, sigma 1365, sigma 1471, also xi 101, xi 102, xi 125. ↩ - 2Bernhardy attributed this quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) to Arrian, Parthica, but, as Adler notes, it has not been included among the fragments of Arrian (or any other author in the TLG). ↩
