[1] The glossing participle is indeed transmitted as aorist passive, but Bernhardy was surely right to think it ought to be middle (
dwrodokhsa/menos), i.e. having used bribery.
[2]
Polybius 21.32b, on events at Same (in
Kephallenia) in 189/8 BCE. The name Ourbios (or Ourvios), here and in
omicron 943, represents Fulvius: M. Fulvius Nobilior, one of the consuls of that year and a friend of the poet Ennius (
epsilon 1348). The change of
-lv- to
-rv- is normal in Greek; it is not clear whether the loss of
f- here is graphical or phonological.
[3] An approximation of
Polybius 8.9.3 (citing
Theopompus on Philip II of Macedon); cf.
epsilon 1736.
