The headword verb (third person singular imperfect active of a)ni/hmi) is illustrated by the first five of the quotations given.
[1] Agathias, Histories 5.21, on the young Byzantine military leader Germanus; more fully at omicron 782. On Germanus, see also alpha 3435, alpha 4595, pi 1522, pi 2901, sigma 1653, and tau 881.
[2] Quotation unidentifiable. (Adler rejects a suggested attribution to Damascius).
[3] Procopius, History of the Wars of Justinian 2.6.25 (web address 1); on behalf of all the peoples of the East, Megas, the bishop of Beroia (cf. beta 245), continues to implore Chosroes (cf. chi 418) to leave Roman territory; cf. Kaldellis (86). For additional background on the Persian army's sweep through the Byzantine east in 540 CE, see alpha 465 and alpha 2363.

[6] Quotation unidentifiable.
[7] Perhaps Arrian: see p.50 Roos. (In any event this quotation uses a compound form of the headword verb.)
