Notes (2)
- 1The headword is the perfect middle infinitive of
u(fi/hmi (the spelling with epsiloniota is guaranteed by the alphabetical order). In the quotation which follows, from indirect speech, Plutarch (see next note) has the aorist infinitiveu(fe/sqai , but the Suda gives it as the headword'su(fei=sqai . ↩ - 2Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as Plutarch, Sulla 14.2. Plut. here quotes Sulla's memoirs, recounting the heroic behaviour of Marcus Ateius in the siege of Athens (86 BCE). ↩
