Σφήλας· καταβαλών, προσουδίσας. ὁ δὲ σφήλας ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἐπιβοηθησάντων ἐκείνῳ τῶν οἰκείων, οὗτος αὐτὸς πάλιν ἐπανῆλθε πρὸς τοὺς Ῥωμαίους.

Notes (1)
- The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is aorist active participle, masculine nominative singular, of verb
sfa/llw (sigma 1716, cf. sigma 1737). - 1Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. Adler notes, but does not follow, the emendation of
ou(=tos toou(/tws in the editio princeps. ↩
