Ὑπεριδεῖν· τὸ καταφρονῆσαι· γενικῇ. καὶ συνεπείσθησάν τινες τῇ νίκῃ τοῦ σώματος ὑπεριδεῖν. καὶ Ὑπεριδόντα· γενικῇ. ὑπεριδόντα μάλα γενναίως τῶν ὀνειδισμῶν.

Notes (3)

  1. The headword is aorist infinitive of the verb u(perora/w (upsilon 337).
    (The entry is omitted, Adler reports, from ms F and is a marginal addition in V.)
  2. 1Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as an approximation of Basil of Caesarea, On Fasting (homily 2) PG 31.185.13-15. ↩
  3. 2Aorist participle of the same verb u(perora/w, masculine accusative singular. ↩
  4. 3Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as -- probably -- an approximation of Agathias, Histories 2.27.3 (which has 'shame' instead of 'insults'). ↩
