See also the note (on Josephus) at epsilon 2380.
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica, beginning with Hesychius epsilon4864, where Latte claims the neuter headword itself as quoted from Euripides, Orestes '569' [= 570] (e)pi/klhm'); cf. the scholia there, and those on Sophocles, Oedipus Tyrannus 227 and 529).
[2] Agathias, Histories 1.12. In 553 CE, the Byzantine general Narses (cf. nu 42) accuses citizens of Luca (modern-day Lucca, in Tuscany, central Italy) of breaking the truce they had reached, stages a mock execution of hostages from the city, and proposes to bring the dead back to life if the Lucchesi return to their original agreement; cf. Frendo (20-21). For further context to this episode from the Gothic War (535-554), see alpha 457, alpha 1709, epsilon 917, epsilon 1104, and mu 707. For scholarly doubts about the veracity of Agathias's account, see alpha 457 note.
[3] Arrian, Parthica fr.32 Roos. (Roos indicated corruption in the text.) For Pakoros cf. alpha 2721, pi 30, omega 111.
