Notes:
The headword, neuter plural of this adjective, is possibly extracted from the quotation given but more probably not, since the other lexica (see note below) do not have it. Extant possibilities, otherwise, include ones in Arrian (
Anabasis 6.21.2) and
Cassius Dio (40.1.2).
[1] cf.
pi 1782,
pi 1805.
[2] Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at
Photius pi954 Theodoridis.
[3] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. On the Moors, see generally
mu 298.
