The headword is evidently quoted from somewhere -- perhaps the quotation given, though the similar entry in Hesychius s.v. has been connected with the Septuagint (Job 6.14).
cf. generally alpha 3125, alpha 3126.
[1] cf. alpha 3168.
[2] Quotation unidentifiable (but probably from the C5 BCE; cf. e.g. Thucydides 6.104.2 on Kleandridas). The "first aorist" with stem vowel alpha occurs sometimes (but not in Homer or standard Attic) instead of the usual thematic aorist a)pei=pon.
[3] From the scholia to Homer, Iliad 9.671.
[4] Quotation not identified by Adler, but identifiable via the TLG as Procopius, On the Wars of Justinian 8.32.3 (web address 1); cf. Kaldellis (534). (See on this Theodoridis' Photius edition, vol.II p.XCII.) Perhaps again at alpha 3277. The Byzantine general Narses (cf. nu 42) orders his soldiers to maintain combat readiness prior to the Battle of Taginae (Busta Gallorum) in late June 552 CE. See further background at epsilon 615. The Italian village of Taginae (Tadinum, Tadinae; Barrington Atlas map 42 grid D2) was probably located a few kilometers north of the modern-day Umbrian town of Gualdo Tadino; cf. Rance (424).
[5] Lysias fr.152 Sauppe (now 205 Carey).
[6] cf. Harpokration s.v., citing Antiphon.
[7] As note 6.
[8] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable.
