Notes:
The headword participle is presumably extracted from the quotation given, but in the form transmitted here,
perifw/santes, it is otherwise unattested. (Alternatives have been suggested, none of them very convincing.)
[1] Quotation unidentifiable (though as Adler notes,
Tiberius Hemsterhuys [1685-1766] drew attention to a possible connection with Cornelius Nepos,
Hannibal '5.2' [= 10.4-5], on H.'s preparations for a sea-battle in 184 BCE).
