[1] From
Timaeus'
Platonic Lexicon, likewise glossing this nominative plural headword. Probably generated by
Plato,
Theaetetus 175E, where the accusative plural is used of
logoi.
[2] Adler tentatively attributed this quotation to
Damascius, and it is admitted as such into Zintzen's edition (as fr. 259). However, it is actually a close approximation (with participle, here, for finite verb) of
Procopius,
On the Wars of Justinian 2.30.7 (web address 1). See on this Theodoridis'
Photius edition, vol.II pp.XCIII-XVIV. During the Lazic War (541-562) in 548 CE, the Persian commander of the garrison at
Petra (on the Black Sea coast, modern-day Georgia; cf.
alpha 906 note) deceives the Byzantine general Dagisthaios (cf.
delta 3) into thinking the surrender of the fortress is imminent; cf. Kaldellis (140).
