Notes:
The unglossed headword, evidently extracted from the following quotation, is a two-ending adjective in the masculine genitive singular; see LSJ s.v.
perirrw/c.
[1] The quotation, partly appearing already at
omicron 1050, is adapted from
Dionysius of Halicarnassus,
Roman Antiquities 9.15.4. This garrison on a craggy hilltop near the Cremera River (Barrington Atlas map 43 grid B2) was built in 479 BCE by Marcus Fabius Vibulanus (consul 483 and 480, d. 477) and his brother Kaeso Fabius Vibulanus (consul 484, 481, and 479; d. 477; cf.
mu 690 n. 2) as part of the Fabian clan's military campaign against the nearby Etruscan city of
Veii (in the present-day community of Isola Farnese, Rome; Barrington Atlas map 43 grid B1); Smith, p. 934.
