Notes:
The headword, dative plural, is presumably extracted from the first quotation given. The second quotation uses a different adjective
u(phretiko/s, homophonous with
u(peiretiko/s in Byzantine pronunciation.
cf. generally
upsilon 415.

Polybius 14.10.11-12. The present gloss seems to interpret the headword adjective as applying to men, but more usually it is taken, impersonally, to imply
ke/lhs or the like.

Polybius 13.5.7; cf. already at
epsilon 3816 and
sigma 563.
