Notes:
[1] Neuter nominative/accusative participle of
pa/reimi (from
ei)=nai "to be"). Same glosses in
Timaeus'
Platonic Lexicon and in
Photius; evidently quoted from somewhere, but too commonplace to identify.
[2] Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as an approximation of
Josephus,
Jewish War 6.167 (with the participle
u(popi/mprantas in the accusative plural; the Suda changes this to nominative plural). See on this Theodoridis'
Photius edition, vol.II p.LXXXVI.
[3]
Procopius,
History of the Wars of Justinian 6.29.4.
