Notes:
[1] The headword adverb appears in two variant forms (for the second see again
alpha 2455), both of which mean this. Cf. the
scholia to
Plato,
Laws 718E, where the headword occurs.
[2] Theophylact Simocatta,
Histories 1.8.11, on the Avar attacks on Roman towns along the lower Danube (autumn of 586); cf. de Boor (55), Whitby (31), and
alpha 2154. At this time the khan of the Avars was probably one of Baian's (cf.
alpha 209 note) sons; cf. Martindale (169). On the Avars, see generally
alpha 18 note.
