[1] Likewise or similarly (with varied accentuation) in other lexica; and cf. the
scholia to
Homer,
Iliad 8.179, where
u(perqore/ontai occurs. The actual headword is a present participle in the masculine nominative singular; it is perhaps quoted from
Aeschylus,
Agamemnon 827.

Aelian fr.332 Hercher, a garbled version of
Herodotus' story (6.134.2) of Miltiades at the siege of
Paros; cf. generally
