Notes (1)

  1. The headword adjective u(perqigh/s, here actually in the genitive plural, is presumably extracted from the quotation given. It is otherwise unattested.
  2. 1Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. Attributed by Valckenaer to Aelian. ↩
