Notes:

[1]
Aelian fr. 10l Domingo-Forasté (part of fr. 10 Hercher); cf.
tau 477. For this idiom see generally LSJ s.v.
a)porrh/gnumi.
[2] It is not immediately obvious how the headword verb,
a)porrh/gnumi, can bear this meaning, but see (besides the quotation about to be given) LSJ s.v., I.2, citing e.g. Appian,
Civil War 2.81 (Pompey bursts out with,
a)pe/rrhcen, a remark).
[3] George of
Pisidia,
On the Persian Expedition 3.39-40.
