[1] Approximate quotation of
Greek Anthology 6.332.7-8 (Hadrian). The headword, extracted from it, is aorist active infinitive of
krai/nw; see web address 1 for LSJ entry. On this epigram, a dedication by Trajan to Zeus, see Page (561-563) and its further extracts at
epsilon 1586,
kappa 454,
lambda 609, and
omicron 955. In the Parthian nation, 'Achaemenian' distinguished a Persian from a Parthian, 'Arsacid'; cf. Page (563). Trajan made the dedication at Zeus's temple on Mount Kasios (cf.
kappa 454 note), near
Antioch (
alpha 2692), just prior to the beginning of his campaign against Parthia, 113-115 CE; cf. Sicker (166-167).
