Notes:
[1] The headword is a future participle (from
a)pei=pon), in the masculine accusative singular or neuter nominative/accusative plural, expressing purpose. It might be drawn from the first quotation given (where it is neuter plural), but it occurs also in
Thucydides 1.29.3 (where it is masculine accusative singular:web address 1), and the
scholia there show resemblances with the glosses here.

Procopius,
Secret History 21.26 (web address 2), on Justinian (cf.
iota 446) ordering his generals not to attack Huns marauding in the Roman frontier, on the grounds that they might be useful future allies against the Goths; cf. Kaldellis (96).
