Notes:
The headword participle is perhaps (though not demonstrably) extracted from the first quotation given.
[1] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable.
[2] Adler queried this attribution, but C. Theodoridis in his
Photius edition (vol.II p.LXXXVIII) identifies the passage in question as an approximation of
Antiquities of the Jews 5.227.
