Notes
- According to Adler, this is comment on Jeremiah 22.20 LXX. However, 'in their souls' does not occur there; and in fact the whole headword phrase comes from Diodorus Siculus (16.81.3, on the Carthaginians in 340 BCE).
For the verbsuntri/bw (of which this is the aorist passive, third person plural; already under iota 501), see generally sigma 1646.
