Notes:
Same entry, minus the quotation, taken over by ps.-Zonaras. The primary headword -- presumably extracted from the quotation -- is imperfect, third person plural, of twqa/zw (tau 855).
[1] Procopius, History of the Wars of Justinian 2.8.6 (web address 1); the Persian king threatens to attack Antioch (cf. alpha 2692), fails to exact a ransom from the city, and is then taunted by the Antiochenes; cf. Kaldellis (89). For Chosroes see generally chi 418. For further background on the Persian army's sweep through the Byzantine east in 540 CE, see alpha 465 note and the cross-references therein.
[2] In ps.-Zonaras this connection is changed (for the better) to 'And [sc. also attested is]'.
[3] Aorist, third person plural, of the same verb; perhaps quoted from Cassius Dio 43.20.2.
