Equivalent entry in ps.-Zonaras, though only the relevant second half of the quotation is given there.
cf. epsilon 614.
[1] The headword participle, from the verb e)kkrou/w in the middle voice, is presumably extracted from the quotation given. (The first of the two glosses on it appears to misunderstand it.)
[2] Procopius, History of the Wars of Justinian 8.31.17 (web address 1) -- which however has the future active participle e)kkrou/swn; cf. Kaldellis (533). For Totila see tau 879. On the Battle of Taginae (Busta Gallorum) in 552 CE, in which Totila attempted this delaying tactic, see also alpha 3124 note.
