Ὑποτυφούσης· ὑποκνιζούσης, ὑποκαιούσης. ἀλλὰ κατὰ βραχὺ τῆς διηγήσεως ὑποτυφούσης τοὺς ἀκούοντας. καὶ Ὑποτυφομένη. ἐντεῦθεν ἤρξατο ἡ δυσμένεια Ῥωμαίων τε καὶ Ἀβάρων, ἤδη ἐκ πολλοῦ ὑποτυφομένη.

  1. The headword, presumably extracted from the first quotation given, is present participle (feminine genitive singular) of the verb u(potu/fw.
  2. 1Quotation unidentifiable. ↩
  3. 2Part of Menander Protector fr. 5.4 Blockley (52-52, = De legationibus gentium ad Romanos 4.31-32). Open hostilities between the Avars (cf. alpha 18 generally) and the Romans commenced when Justinian (cf. iota 446 generally) in 562 (possibly 561, cf. Blockley (253, note 26)) detained Avar envoys in Byzantion while their khan Baian (cf. alpha 209 generally) had demanded their return directly after the breakdown of negotiations. Find another excerpt from this fragment at gamma 335. ↩
