Greek Original:
*purgou=tai: u(you=tai. *dama/skios: toi=s e)pi\ mh/kiston eu)= ma/la purgw/sasi th\n filosofi/an, toi=s peri\ *puqago/ran, *pla/twna: toi=s de\ newsti\ *porfuri/w|, *)iambli/xw|, *surianw=|.
Notes:
[1] The headword is third-person singular, present indicative, of this verb (for which see also pi 3204). Same glossing in other lexica (references at Photius pi1552 Theodoridis); evidently quoted from somewhere -- perhaps Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Roman Antiquities 9.53.6, though more probably the much-quoted fr. 63 of Ion of Chios, which begins ou) ga\r lo/gois *la/kaina purgou=tai po/lis "For not by words is the Laconian city exalted."
[2] Damascius, Life of Isidore fr. 36 Asmus (not in Zintzen, though cf. his fr.77).
[3] Bernhardy wished to add 'Aristotle' here.
[4] Porphyry: pi 2098.
[5] Iamblichus: iota 27.
[6] Syrianus: sigma 1662.
