Notes:
[1] The headword is aorist active infinitive of metadiw/kw, presumably extracted from the quotation given. See generally LSJ s.v. metadiw/kw, 2.
[2] The ultimate source of this historiographical quotation is unknown. Adler indicates that it came to the Suda via the excerpts made for Constantine Porphyrogenitus. See also at sigma 1472, which has differences (notably a plural participle).
