Vetting Status: high
Translation:
"Justinian was deceitful, artificial, shady in temperament."[1] Also [sc. attested is] 'shady' [meaning] one who is of the shadows.
"Begone from the hut, shady mice. The impoverished meal-trough of Leonidas knows not how to feed mice."[2]
"His mother bore him as a shady [child]."[3] That is, from clandestine intercourse.
A 'shady' one, then, [is] that which is clandestine.
But a 'virginal' one [is] one having been born from an apparent virgin.[4]

Notes:
[1] An approximation of Procopius, Secret History 8.24.3 (web address 1), on the emperor Justinian I (cf. iota 446 generally); cf. Kaldellis (39). On Justinian's nature and habits see also mu 1340.
[2] Greek Anthology 6.302.1-2 (Leonidas of Tarentum); cf. Gow and Page (vol. I, 119); (vol. II, 347-348); and further extracts from this epigram at alpha 3965, eta 380, kappa 2424, mu 702, and sigma 698. Gow and Page note (vol. I, 119) that here the Anthologia Palatina (AP) reads musipi/h, perhaps a portmanteau word, but otherwise unattested. The AP scribe designated C (the Corrector) transmits moi\ sipu/h, with the dative case of the first person singular pronoun (ibid.). However, Gow and Page follow the Anthologia Planudea and the Suda here in reading mu=s sipu/h (ibid.).
[3] Homer, Iliad 6.24. The comments from the scholia that follow are from an explanation of different sorts of illegitimate children; cf. upsilon 576.
[4] These two last sentences are lacking, Adler reports, in mss AFV.
