Greek original · Adler’s text
Συνέπεσε γενέσθαι· ἀντὶ τοῦ συνέβη. οὕτως Ἰσοκράτης. καὶ ἐξ ἀμφοτέρων τῶν μερῶν φόνος συνέπιπτε πολύς, φύρδην ἐπ' ἀλλήλοις μαχομένων. καί, συνέπεσε τῷ στρατηγῷ πρὸς τὰ γόνατα. ἀντὶ τοῦ προσέπεσε. καὶ αὖθις· τοῖς μὲν πρὸς τὰ γόνατα πιπτόντων.

Notes (4)
- For the verb
sumpi/ptw see already sigma 1393. - 1Isoc. 5.89 (web address 1), where a better interpretation would be "it happened that they became ..." ↩
- 2Quotation unidentifiable. ↩
- 3Perhaps Polybius (so Adler); cf. sigma 226. ↩
- 4Diodorus Siculus 36.15.2, on Saturninus (the subject of the participle, which should be
pi/ptwn , not the Suda'spipto/ntwn ). ↩
