Notes:
The headword is genitive plural of the noun
muw/n. Though it occurs in the
Procopius quotation given, it is more probably extracted here from
Homer,
Iliad 16.324; cf. the
scholia there.
[1] Adapted from parts of
Procopius,
History of the Wars of Justinian 6.23.37 & 6.23.38 (web address 1); cf. Kaldellis (367).
[2] The selection obscures what is going on. A Moor, the omitted object in this sentence, was dragging off the corpse of a Goth, when another Goth pinned both of the Moor's legs together with a well-aimed shot.
[3] The subject here is the Moor whose legs have been pinned. Between these two sentences several words have been omitted and "coming" (
e)rxo/menos) here reads "holding" (
e)xo/menos) in
Procopius.
