[2] An approximation of material recorded at greater length at
phi 279 (=
Eunapius fr.39 FHG (4.29); Blockley,
Eunapius fr. 39.[8]) -- read
pe/mpetai ('[
Festus] is sent') in place of the
e)kpe/mpei ('sends out') of the current entry, and add
toiou=tos ('such') after
*qettali/as. Shorter excerpts of the same passage are also found at
gamma 301 and
theta 599.
