Notes:
The headword is presumably extracted from the quotation given. For this verb cf. epsilon 934, epsilon 935.
[1] Bernhardy attributed this quotation to Eunapius (Blockley, Eunapius fr. 34.[7]). Be that as it may, it seems to relate to the events of 366 CE, when Valens (omicron 764) was moving against the eastern usurper Procopius.
