Headword: *)ana/stasis
Adler number: alpha,2080
Translated headword: destruction
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[*)ana/stasis can be used] instead of a)nasta/twsis.[1]
Polybius [writes]:[2] "Massana[3] was for Carthage the cause of the destruction, leaving it to the Romans utterly weak."
Greek Original:
*)ana/stasis: a)nti\ tou= a)nasta/twsis. *polu/bios: *ma/ssana de\ *karxhdo/ni ai)/tion th=s a)nasta/sews gene/sqai, pa/mpan th\n a)sqenh= *(rwmai/ois u(polipo/nta.
Notes:
For this headword in another sense see alpha 2079.
[1] So too in Photius; and cf. Pollux 3.91.
[2] As de Boor pointed out, the source appears, rather, to be Appian (Punica 106). For Polybius (36.16) see mu 245, and the next note.
[3] As the mu 244 entry (where this sentence reappears) shows, this is a textually corrupt version of the name Massinissa, king of Numidia (238-148).
