Notes:
The entry is commenting on the parallel structure of the headword phrase, each noun having a passive verb with the same termination.
The phrase itself was not identified by Adler but is identifiable via the TLG as occurring (with 'and' linking the two elements) in Gregory of Nazianzus,
Oration 16,
In patrem tacentem (PG 35.936.5-6).
