Adler number: rho,190

Greek Original:*(riyokindu/nou: e(kousi/ws pro\s ki/ndunon e)rxome/nou. o( de\ e)/rrwto bohqei=n toi=s kinduneu/ousi kai\ xrh/|zousi summaxi/as r(iyokindu/nou tino/s: e(autou= ga\r i)/dion e)no/mize to\n toiou=ton kairo/n.
Notes:
The headword adjective is in the genitive singular, presumably extracted from the quotation given. It literally means danger-discarding; cf. generically
rho 189. The implications of that can be either unfavourable (i.e. foolhardy, reckless) or, as here, favourable.
cf.
delta 514 (neuter plural),
kappa 2602 (2 instances of the cognate adverb),
lambda 81 =
pi 2197.
[1] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable.
