Notes (1)

  1. The headword participle is presumably extracted from the quotation.
    Entry lacking, Adler reports, in mss AFV.
  2. 1Damascius, Life of Isidore fr. 52 Asmus, now 105 Zintzen, 43E Athanassiadi. (But note alternative attributions: to Aelian by Valckenaer; to Symeon Metaphrastes by Adler.) Athanassiadi believes it belongs to the narrative of Hypatia's death (upsilon 166). ↩
