Notes (1)
- The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is future middle infinitive of the verb
u(pa/gw (for which cf. upsilon 133, upsilon 134, upsilon 136, upsilon 137, upsilon 139). The glosses are aorist infinitives, but a future infinitive is usual with a verb of promising. - 1Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. ↩
