Headword: *fugadei/a
Adler number: phi,810
Translated headword: exile
Vetting Status: high

"Since there were two obvious paths to destruction, they exchanged an everlasting exile for these things. Thus the widespread [saying] is true, that an end of evil [is] a greater evil."[1]
Also [sc. attested is the phrase], "an exile from one's own people".[2] "[The] queen/empress showed where she had been an exile a little further off."[3] Meaning [where she had been] banished.[4]
Greek Original:

Notes:
For the lemma Adler cites Lexicon Ambrosianum 557.
[1] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. It includes the accusative singular form of the headword. For the 'saying' invoked cf. pi 806.
[2] A phrase (unattested elsewhere) involving a noun, fuga/s, related to the headword. This noun -- but not the whole phrase -- appears in the quotation that follows.
[3] Again, the quotation (again, in Adler's view, transmitted via the Excerpta) is unidentifiable.
[4] Adler compares Hesychius (epsilon944) for this gloss, but the similarity is not particularly compelling.
