[1] Definition as in
Timaeus'
Platonic Lexicon; also in
Photius kappa734 Theodoridis.
Timaeus may have been glossing an instance like
Plato,
Apology 28B (
kinduneu/eis nuni\ a)poqanei=n "you are now in danger of dying" as "you are getting close to dying"); see also e.g.
Theaetetus 196D,
Phaedrus 262C.
[2] LSJ s.v. I.b: "make a venture, take a risk... esp. engage in war". (This does not appear to be paralleled in other lexica.)
[3]
Eunapius fr.1.242 Dindorf, cited in Constantine Porphyrogenitus,
De sententiis p. 86 Boissevain; referring to the campaigns of Valens in Thrace. "But that it is opportune to destroy such camps, drawing out the war and blocking opportunities for those seeking advantage; so that when the many happen to fight against them out of necessity, they should not be put at risk by bad luck; rather they should consider it impossible to be in danger, with the attack being against the opponent".
