[1]
Procopius,
Secret History 15.25 (on Theodora's humiliation of a senior patrician), but here approximated -- and garbled: the aorist participle
ai)tiasa/menos should be the future participle
ai)tiaso/menos (as in Suda mss GM, Adler reports), and the ungrammatical aorist infinitive
dehqh=nai should be the future participle
dehqhso/menos.
Procopius' text is translated here; cf. web address 1 and Kaldellis (70). On Theodora see
alpha 956 note.
[2] Arrian,
Indica 28.3, on a campaign of the year 325 BCE. For Nearchos see generally
nu 117.
