[2] Perhaps rather, "Especially that his brother Gaius would not endure that he should survive after he had become a slave of his enemies" (interpreting
periei=nai not as "to conquer" but as "to continue living," and supposing that the lexicographer may be mistaken, or that
nika=n belongs to
pi 1146 instead of here). In any event, the quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) is unidentifiable.
