Notes:
The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is aorist participle, masculine nominartive singular, of
a)napa/llw; cf.
alpha 1995.
[1] The quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti), briefer in ps.-
Zonaras, is unidentifiable. Its oddly shifting vocabulary for the weapon here has been reflected in translation. Latter part again at
kappa 973.
