The headword is perhaps extracted from the first quotation given, but there are numerous other possibilities.
[1] Not in the example given here. For the various case constructions of this verb see the LSJ entry at web address 1. For the aorist, cf. delta 918 and delta 919.
[2] Procopius, History of the Wars of Justinian 1.18.6 (already at delta 68). For Daras see under alpha 3174.
[3] A faulty recollection of Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Roman Antiquities 12.14.1 (where the figure is 10 years). See on this Theodoridis' Photius edition, vol.II p.LXXIX.
