Notes:
The primary headword, presumably extracted from the first quotation given, is perfect middle/passive participle, feminine accusative singular, of
sa/ttw. The secondary one, illustrated by the second and third quotations (but see below), is the corresponding masculine nominative plural.
[1] An approximation of
Agathias,
Histories 2.6 (p. 48 lines 8-12); the Romans seize a wagon from the foraging Franks, set it ablaze, and destroy a riverside watchtower, precipitating the Battle of the Volturnus (Battle of
Capua, 554 CE) during the Gothic War (535-554); cf. Frendo (38). For additional context, also see
delta 506,
epsilon 953,
lambda 387,
mu 764,
pi 87, and
phi 700.
[2] Quotation unparalleled in this precise form but again, seemingly, a loose version of one or more passages in
Agathias. For 'weighed down by their plunder', see next note; the rest echoes
Agathias 3.7 (p. 92 line 30); but neither includes
sesgame/noi.
[3]
Agathias,
Histories 2.10 (p. 54 line 15), on the triumphant return home of a Roman army; the finite verb, however, is added by the lexicographer.
