Notes (3)
- cf. generally upsilon 688.
- 1Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpts made for Constantine Porphyrogenitus) unidentifiable. Clearly the verb by itself would not mean "one day later"; the interval needs to be specified. ↩
- 2The verb
u(stere/w is an alternative tou(steri/zw . Adler reports a similar entry in the Ambrosian Lexicon. ↩ - 3Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Roman Antiquities 20.3.5; cf. upsilon 688. ↩
