Greek Original:*(/ufaloi: u(poqala/ssioi kekrumme/nai pe/trai. u(/falo/s tis h)=n toi=s barba/rois o( qa/natos, h(/tis a)/mpwtis e)capinai/ws katarrofou=sa/ pws to\ pole/mion.
Notes:
[1] The headword adjective (already
upsilon 697), here in the nominative plural, is evidently quoted from somewhere. Same glossing in other lexica (references at
Photius upsilon310 Theodoridis); and Adler compares ('cf.') a scholion on Gregory of Nazianzus (see bibliography below). Gregory uses the phrase
dia\ probo/lwn kai\ u(fa/lwn ei)s o(/rmon e)pei/gesqai in his first
Oration Against the emperor Julian (PG 35.657.42-43).
