Notes (1)
- The headword -- present participle of
u(pera/gw , masculine accusative singular -- is presumably extracted from the quotation given. - 1Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable; de Boor suggested Theodorus Lector or John of Antioch (but not accepted as Johnian by U.Roberto). The overseer might be a bishop, depending on context. ↩
