Notes:
[1] Likewise, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (1493); and cf. also the scholia to Thucydides 1.26.3 (next note).
[2] Thucydides 1.26.3 (web address 1).
[3] Quotation (already at epsilon 1412) unidentifiable. It contains not the headword but a verbal derivative, for which see epsilon 2204.
[4] Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as Procopius, History of the Wars of Justinian 7.22.11 (web address 2) = Excerpta de legationibus of Constantine Porphyrogenitus 155.34-116.1. See on this Theodoridis' Photius edition, vol.II p.XCIII. The quotation is from a letter Belisarius (cf. beta 233) sent to Totila (cf. tau 879), urging the Ostrogothic king not to raze Rome to the ground (early 547 CE); cf. Kaldellis (425).
[5] The nominative and genitive forms of the name of the god Ares (alpha 3852).
