Notes:
[1] Interpreting
a)peiro- as "unlimited" instead of "inexperienced." (cf.
alpha 3133).
[2] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable.
[3] Quotation tentatively attributed by Adler to
Damascius, and admitted as such into Zintzen's edition of that author (
Life of Isidore fr. 373). However, C. Theodoridis in his
Photius edition (vol.II p.XCVI) identifies the passage as one in
Synesius,
Letter 127 (p.217.10-11 Garzya). In the translation of A. Fitzgerald,
Synesius says, "I shall not be so tactless as to spin out at great length the story which has been proclaimed ..."
