Headword: *perii/stamai
Adler number: pi,1161
Translated headword: I encircle, I surround
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Used] with an accusative.
"[He] stations archers all around him".[1]

Greek Original:
*perii/stamai: ai)tiatikh=|. toco/tas au)to\n pa/ntoqen perii/sthsi. kai/, perii/stantai pa/ntoqen to\ pandoxei=on.
Notes:
The headword is the middle voice of perii/sthmi; the quotations illustrate, respectively, the active and the middle.
[1] From 'FGrHist 115', Adler initially and tentatively suggested, i.e. Theopompus of Chios; however, none of his extant fragments match this unidentifiable (and textually suspect: au)to/n needs emendation to either au)tw|= or au)tw=n) phrase. In her consolidated addenda and corrigenda Adler altered the suggested attribution to FGrH 151, an anonymous Alexander-history.
[2] Again, unidentifiable. (Adler suggested Symeon Metaphrastes.)
Keywords: biography; Christianity; dialects, grammar, and etymology; historiography; history; military affairs; religion
