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).
[2] 
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).
