Headword:
*dokimasth=res
Adler number: delta,1330
Translated headword: scrutineers
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] the examiners.[1]
"Despite being, even before, a notable person among all the Italians at least, [now], as it was natural, he won an even greater renown because of his generosity."[2]
Greek Original:*dokimasth=res: oi( e)tastai/. o( de\ w)\n kai\ pro/teron e)/n ge *)italiw/tais pa=si do/kimos mei=zon w(s to\ ei)ko\s e)pi\ filanqrwpi/a| kle/os a)ph/negken.
Notes:
[1] The plural headword is very probably taken from
Polybius 24.7.5; cf.
chi 175. The gloss, also in ps.-
Zonaras, is a rare, prefix-less variant of
e)cetastai/ (cf.
epsilon 1668).

Procopius,
History of the Wars of Justinian 7.16.6 (
Excerpta Constantini,
De legationibus 112.12-14), on
Pelagius (cf.
alpha 1585,
delta 590). The quotation is not well-placed in this context, as it does not contain the headword (cf. web address 1); perhaps better under
delta 1331 as an example of the use of
do/kimos as an adjective.
Pelagius devoted the bulk of his considerable fortune to the famished citizens of Rome, under siege by the Goths in late 546 CE; cf. Kaldellis (411).
