Notes (1)
- The quotation which makes up this lengthy headword (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) is unidentifiable.
For 'chiliarchies' see under mu 626, xi 18. - 1The gloss does not seems entirely apt, and some would emend
strateu/sas to (e.g.)stratopedeu/sas (cf. sigma 1180). ↩
