[2] Exact source unknown, but probably a reference to the
Life of St. Anthony by Athanasius. There the headword occurs a number of times (9.8, 12.12, 14.8), most notably when the saint faces the demons of his temptation by reciting
Psalm 25:3
LXX (27:3 KJV), "though an host (
parembolh/) should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear," employing the headword in a broader sense than the glosses elsewhere in the entry indicate.
