"The blow itself was also a funeral encomium of his virtue".
*)epita/fion: au(/th h( plhgh\ kai\ th=s a)reth=s au)tw=| e)pita/fion h)=n e)gkw/mion.
The quotation is an elaborated version of a phrase in Theophylact Simocatta,
Histories 2.6.3. The original has neither 'the blow' nor 'encomium', i.e. the present headword adjective is used there -- as commonly elsewhere (
alpha 18,
kappa 1356, etc) -- as if it were a noun.
