The headword, presumably (though not demonstrably) extracted from the quotation given, is aorist indicative middle, third person plural, of the verb
pari/sthmi; see generally LSJ s.v., and cf.
pi 569,
pi 570,
pi 571,
alpha 1512.
[1] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. [In her critical apparatus Adler notes that ms V omits
plei/stas, probably a simple slip.]
[2] cf.
eta 268. [Adler notes that, instead of
h(/lwsan, mss GM have
ei(/lon,
they seized.]
