Notes:
The headword adjective is probably (though not demonstrably) extracted from the first quotation given.
[1] Herodotus 6.7 (of what the participants in the Ionian Revolt resolve not to do; the emphasis in pezo\n me\n strato\n mhde/na sulle/gein ktl is to fight at sea, not on land). See web address 1.
[2] Presumably extracted from the Agathias passage which now follows.
[3] Agathias, Histories 1.14. During the Gothic War (535-554) in 553 CE, the Heruli military commander, Fulcaris--audacious, but also given to recklessness--assembles an irregular force of Heruli and Roman soldiers for an ill-fated attack (q.v. alpha 2764) on the Franks at Parma (in northern Italy, Barrington Atlas map 39 grid G4); cf. Frendo (22-23). On the Heruli, see epsilon 901 and epsilon 3058. On Fulcaris, see PLRE IIIa s.v.
