Greek original · Adler’s text
Ὑβριστότερος. Ξενοφῶν· οἱ ἀμελεῖσθαι δοκοῦντες στρατιῶται, οἱ μὲν ἀγαθοὶ πολὺ ἀθυμότεροι γίνονται, οἱ δὲ πονηροὶ πολὺ ὑβριστότεροι. καὶ αὖθις· οὐδὲν ὑβριστικώτερον ὄχλου πρὸς ὀργὴν καὶ παρανομίαν ὁρμήσαντος.

Notes (2)
- The unglossed headword, masculine nominative singular, might be generated by the first quotation given (which uses the corresponding plural); alternatively, if it is extracted from somewhere in its own right, the likeliest place is Xenophon, Anabasis 5.8.3.
- 1Xenophon, Cyropaedia 5.5.41 (web address 1). ↩
- 2Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. (It uses the comparative of an adjective related to the headword,
u(bristiko/s .) Bernhardy noted that the passage was imitating Herodotus 3.81.1 (web address 2); Adler tentatively ascribes it to Aelian. ↩
