Notes:
[1] The headword is a verbal adjective -- here in the neuter plural, presumably extracted from the quotation which immediately follows -- related to
oi)/sw (used as future of
fe/rw; cf.
omicroniota 171,
omicroniota 172,
omicroniota 174).
[2]
Thucydides 7.75.7 (web address 1); cf.
epsilon 2418.
[3] Quotation not identified by Adler, but Favuzzi [cited under
alpha 1518] 56 claims it for Arrian; the conjunction of
e)pifle/gein and
kau=ma occurs only in him.
