Notes:
[1] The headword phrase is presumably extracted from the quotation given (though the latter lacks the
nu ephelkustikon).
[2] Adler notes the attribution of this quotation to
Eunapius by the Dutch scholar
Tiberius Hemsterhuys (1685-1766. The phrase "at hand"
u(po\ xei=ra is repeated at
upsilon 638.
