Notes:
[1] The headword is genitive plural of the perfect passive participle of
a)pacio/w, presumably extracted from the quotation which immediately follows. (There are no other attestations.)
[2] Quotation unidentifiable. (The quotation does not make obvious sense as it stands and might be better if
tw=n and
ou)k (or
ou)) were reversed, i.e. "...not one of the 40 virgins who had been disowned".)

Histories 3.17.2; on Hormisdas's refusal to turn over Daras during negotiations with the Romans in mid-579, in contrast to his father's earlier willingness to cede the fortress city; cf. de Boor (145), Whitby (99). For Hormisdas IV, 579-590, see PLRE IIIa s.v. Hormisdas IV. Daras (Darai in earlier times), also called Anastasioupolis, was in
