Notes (1)
- The headword -- third person singular, imperfect indicative active, of
u(ponomeu/w -- is evidently extracted from the quotation given: see next note.
cf. upsilon 549. - 1The source (not identified by Adler or her predecessors, but identifiable via the TLG) is Josephus, Jewish Wars 7.27 -- which however has third person plural (web address 1). ↩
