[1] The headword is presumably extracted from the quotation given, though these glosses (which are attested poorly, if at all, for the headword verb) do not make a good fit with the way the verb is used in the quotation.
[2] Literally "he was initiating a test". For this expression (characteristic of later Greek), see also kappa 101.
