Headword: *)ecubri/zonta
Adler number: epsilon,1864
Translated headword: violating
Vetting Status: high

Greek Original:
*)ecubri/zonta: paraspondou=nta, parabai/nonta ta\s sunqh/kas, a)dikou=nta. ta\ e)kdikh/mata tou= *dekeba/lou e)s toso/nde proselhlu/qei, w(/ste a)nagkai=on ei)=nai pole/mw| katapau=sai e)cubri/zonta.
Notes:
Very similarly in ps.-Zonaras (though the quotation there is shorter).
[1] The headword is a present active participle of e)cubri/zw, masculine nominative singular (as translated here; alternatively, neuter nominative/accusative plural). It is probably extracted from the quotation which follows, though other instances are extant, including one in Plato, Laws 691C (a passage quoted by Stobaeus).
[2] Adler tentatively attributes this quotation to Arrian's Parthica (p. 31.106 Roos). On Dekebalos, see delta 189, delta 344.
