And elsewhere: "they undertook to prevent the two Roman ships, as they were running ahead of the whole expedition."3

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ὑφίσταται· ὑπισχνεῖται, διαβεβαιοῦται. Ἀππιανός· ὁ δὲ ὑφίσταται γράμματα διοίσειν διὰ τῶν ἐχθρῶν ἐς τὸ Καπιτώλιον. καὶ αὖθις· οἱ δὲ κωλύσειν ὑφίσταντο τὰ Ῥωμαϊκὰ δύο σκάφη, ὡς προεκδραμόντα τοῦ παντὸς στόλου.

  1. 1The headword, presumably extracted from the first quotation given, is third person singular, present middle, of u(fi/sthmi. For other forms of this verb, see upsilon 397, upsilon 583, upsilon 584, upsilon 586, upsilon 593, upsilon 594, upsilon 735. ↩
  2. 2Appian, Celtica 4 (preserved only here; contextless). ↩
  3. 3Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpts made for Constantine Porphyrogenitus) unidentifiable. ↩
