The headword participle is presumably extracted from the first quotation given. For the second meaning of it exemplified later in the entry, cf. generally delta 816.
[1] Procopius, History of the Wars of Justinian 8.26.7 (web address 1); cf. Kaldellis (523). In April 552 CE, Emperor Justinian I (cf. iota 446) accedes to the demands of Byzantine general Narses (nu 42) and devotes significant resources to the campaign against Totila (tau 879) and the Goths in Italy; cf. Kaldellis (522-523).
[2] Polybius 3.18.8 (web address 2, L.Aemilius Paullus at Pharos during the Second Illyrian War, 219 BCE). The city of Pharos (Pharus) is on the western end of an island of the same name off the Dalmatian coast (Barrington Atlas map 20 grid D6). By way of a shrewdly conceived ambush (cf. alpha 2545) Roman Consul Lucius Aemilius Paullus (cf. OCD(4) s.v. Aemilius Paullus(1)) captured a well-defended insular city. But whether that city was in fact Pharos (the site of modern-day Stari Grad, on the north coast of the island, and in accord with Polybius's account) or rather the site of modern Hvar, on the south coast, remains a matter of scholarly dispute (Walbank, p. 330).
