Notes:
[1] Likewise in
Photius and ps.-
Zonaras. The headword adverb is otherwise unattested.
Anastrophe as a rhetorical device (as opposed to a military manoeuvre, for which see below) is the repetition of words from the end of one sentence at the beginning of the next; see LSJ s.v. I.4. The example here uses repetition at the beginning and end of the same clause, with two forms of the verb
egkalein, "prosecute" or "accuse".
[2] See generally LSJ s.v. I.2.
[3] Not identified by Adler, but identifiable via the TLG as a close approximation of
Josephus,
Antiquities of the Jews 18.359.
