[1] Likewise in the
Synagoge (tau125) and in
Photius,
Lexicon tau202, where Theodoridis declares the headword -- perfect middle/passive infinitive of
tru/w -- to be quoted from
Herodotus 1.22.3. (But NB
Josephus and Appian have alternatives.) See also already
Hesychius tau660.
[2] Appian,
Macedonica fr. 10 (using a compound of the headword verb).
[3]
Greek Anthology 6.52.3 (attributed to
Simonides) -- where the Doric feminine nominative
au)ta/ appears, not
au)th/ as here. See further extracts from this epigram, the dedication of a well-worn spear, at
eta 597,
mu 504, and
