Note:
[1] Approximate quotation of Greek Anthology 6.332.7-8 (Hadrian). The headword, extracted from it, is aorist active infinitive of krai/nw; see web address 1 for LSJ entry. On this epigram, a dedication by Trajan to Zeus, see Page (561-563) and its further extracts at epsilon 1586, kappa 454, lambda 609, and omicron 955. In the Parthian nation, 'Achaemenian' distinguished a Persian from a Parthian, 'Arsacid'; cf. Page (563). Trajan made the dedication at Zeus's temple on Mount Kasios (cf. kappa 454 note), near Antioch (alpha 2692), just prior to the beginning of his campaign against Parthia, 113-115 CE; cf. Sicker (166-167).
