Histories 5.1.14; cf. de Boor (190) and Whitby (133). (Entry thus far repeated by ps.-
Zonaras.) Theophylact's story concerns the Persian rebel Zadesprates (cf.
alpha 3373), having hidden in a rock tower, imbibing and presuming himself secure from Chosroes II's (cf.
alpha 2015 note) soldiers.

Polybius fr. 40 Büttner-Wobst. Büttner-Wobst follows (519) an emendation of this fragment by Dindorf in replacing the Suda's
h(ntinaou=n (feminine accusative singular form of the indefinite relative pronoun
o(/stis with attached generalizing particle
ou)=n:
at all or, perhaps,
whatsoever) with the more common spelling
h(ntinou=n.
