Notes:
[1] Likewise in the
Synagoge and in
Photius,
Lexicon pi785 Theodoridis. The headword is dative singular of the feminine noun
peritroph/. It must be quoted from somewhere, but not the quotation which follows; there are various possibilities.

Procopius,
History of the Wars of Justinian 7.20.14 (with
e)pe/bale rather than the Suda's
e)ne/bale, and with
tou/tois toi=s *)isau/rois "these particular Isaurians" who were planning to betray the city); see web address 1. During the Gothic War (535-554 CE), guards from the Asinaria Gate's night watch conspire to betray Rome to the Goths (December 17, 546 CE); cf. Kaldellis (421) and further background at
beta 559 and
epsilon 1256. On the Isaurians, see
iota 616.
