The headword, nominative singular of this feminine noun, is presumably generated by the first quotation given.
[1]
Damascius fr. 67 Zintzen (29 Asmus, 156 Athanassiadi). For
e)/nstasis of life, see LSJ s.v. I.2.
[2] This quotation and the gloss on it are lacking, Adler reports, in mss TFV. The quotation itself is unidentifiable. (Adler tentatively suggests Symeon Metaphrastes.)
