[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The headword infinitive is presumably quoted from somewhere.
[2] Quotation not identified by Adler, but a TLG search reveals it to be a garbled version of a passage in Gregory of Nazianzus,
Orations 36 (PG 36.269):
e)pei/sqh ga/r, w(s qeo\s ei)=nai baskai/netai, tou= th=s gnw/sews cu/lou te/ws ei)rgo/menos; "for he [Adam] was persuaded, that he was begrudged to be a god, being hindered until then from [access to] the tree of knowledge".
[3] Quotation unidentifiable (Adler suggested
Diodorus Siculus or
Cassius Dio.) In any event Bernhardy advocated emending
zh=los to the proper name
*zih/las (
zeta 100).
