Notes (1)
- The headword, an aorist middle participle in the masculine nominative singular, is presumably extracted from the quotation given. For this verb see also upsilon 401, upsilon 605, upsilon 606, upsilon 607, upsilon 609, upsilon 610.
- 1From the Parthica of Arrian (FGrH 156 F155); also under xi 112 (q.v.) ↩
