Notes:
[1] The headword is the aorist active participle, masculine nominative plural, of
e)pibu/w (cf.
epsilon 2257). It is presumably extracted from the quotation which immediately follows -- but see next note.
[2] An approximation of
Procopius,
History of the Wars of Justinian [
de bellis] 4.19.13 (web address 1), which purports to include the headword; but quoted more accurately, in context, at
rho 270. If 4.19.13 does contain
e)pibu/sasi rather than
e)pibu/santes, the latter might be quoted from 7.35.5 (web address 2).
[3] cf.
beta 592.
