[1] Already defined as kaqa/rmata in Erotian (and as perikaqa/rmata in Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon); and the full definition occurs elsewhere (see the references at Photius lambda465 Theodoridis).
[2] Also quoted at tau 464, which relates to the insult of Postumius at Tarentum (Taras; a city in southern Italy, modern-day Taranto; cf. tau 112 and tau 113): see discussion there. The quotation is distorted here, since Postumius was the ambassador being insulted. This appears to be an expansion of Constantine Porphyrogenitus, On Legations p. 6 de Boor: "when Lucius Postumius and Gaius Claudius were consuls, the Romans decided to make war against the Tarantines, who were Greek colonists, but dwelled in the edge of Italy, for they insulted their ambassadors in unseemly words and deeds, despite the common law of humanity, and the toga of Postumius, leader of the navy, but ..." Porphyrogenitus in turn cites "John's chronicle history", but no comparable passage is known.
