Notes:
[1] Neuter nominative/accusative participle of
pa/reimi (from
ei)=nai "to be"). Same glosses in
Timaeus'
Platonic Lexicon and in
Photius; evidently quoted from somewhere, but too commonplace to identify.
[2] Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as an approximation of
Josephus,
Jewish War 6.167 (web address 1: with the participle
u(popimpra/ntas in the accusative plural, which the Suda changes to nominative plural). See on this Theodoridis'
Photius edition, vol.II p.LXXXVI.
