Notes (2)

  1. 1The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is present active participle, masculine accusative plural, of u(polamba/nw (upsilon 536). For other senses of this verb see upsilon 192, upsilon 534. ↩
  2. 2Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. ↩
