Greek display:    
Headword: *prosqe/sqai
Adler number: pi,2705
Translated headword: to side with
Vetting Status: high

[Meaning] to fight a war alongside. "[...] and to side with Pompey the Great not because of fear of the Romans but goodwill towards both the king and the Romans themselves".[1]
Greek Original:
*prosqe/sqai: sumpolemh=sai. kai\ *pomphi/+w| tw=| mega/lw| prosqe/sqai ou) kata\ de/os to\ *(rwmai/wn, a)lla\ kat' eu)noi/an th\n e)s basile/a te kai\ au)tou\s *(rwmai/ous.
Notes:
The headword (aorist middle infinitive of prosti/qhmi; cf. pi 2706) is presumably extracted from the quotation given.
[1] For Pompey see pi 2024. This quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) was left unidentified by Adler; now Favuzzi [see under alpha 1596] 213 finds vocabulary-based grounds for attributing it to John of Antioch.
Keywords: biography; definition; dialects, grammar, and etymology; ethics; historiography; history; military affairs; politics
