Headword: Epikeimena
Adler number: epsilon,2369
Translated headword: lying on
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Meaning adducing.[1] "The associates of Gezerich send to Basiliscus two thousand pounds of gold and very beautiful treasures, [re]lying on the excuse of the Arians."[2]
Greek Original:
Epikeimena: anti tou epipheronta. dischilias litras chrusiou stellousi kai keimêlia kallista hoi peri Gezerichon tôi Basiliskôi, prophasin tên tôn Areianôn epikeimena.
Notes:
[1] The headword is present participle of the verb e)pi/keimai (cf. epsilon 2370, epsilon 2371), neuter plural nominative/accusative; presumably extracted from the quotation given.
[2] Bernhardy attributed this quotation -- where e)pikei/mena agrees grammatically with 'treasures' -- to Malchus; now Malchus fr.26 Cresci. For Gezerich and the Arians see the quotation (first attributed by Toup to Priscus: now his fr.68 Bornmann) under pi 307. For the emperor Basiliscus see beta 164.
