[1] Theophylact Simocatta,
Histories 2.7.6, on the Roman siege (summer of 586) of the Persian garrison at Chlomaron (cf.
chi 348, where the extract is repeated); cf. de Boor (82), Whitby (52), and
alpha 399. Both the headword verb itself,
a)popone/w, and other vocabulary here (see
epsilon 2921) come from Aristophanic comedy. See also
phi 743,
chi 348.
