Note:
[1] A close approximation -- to\ spoudazo/menon should be plural -- of Josephus, Jewish Antiquities 2.231 (via Constantine Porphyrogenitus, Excerpta de virtutibus 1.40), in reference to the effect on passers-by of the sight of the youthful Moses. For the headword infinitive see also Josephus, Jewish War 4.591. LSJ s.v. mysteriously cites, besides, 'Anon. ap Suid.'
