Notes:
[1] The headword (presumably extracted from the first quotation given though also illustrated by the others) is neuter plural nominative/accusative of
e)pith/deios; cf.
epsilon 2687,
epsilon 2688.
[2] Quoted already at
epsilon 575.
[3] Adler could not find this phrase in
Xenophon, but there are several of which it could be a paraphrase or approximation. Closest comes
Anabasis 3.1.19 (
w(s de\ a)/fqona ta\ e)pith/deia), but see also
Hellenica 3.2.2 and 4.1.15,
Memorabilia 2.1.9,
Cyropaedia 3.3.23.
[4] From Arrian,
Parthica or
Ab excessu Alexandri 16.
