Notes:
cf. generally
upsilon 688.
[1] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpts made for Constantine Porphyrogenitus) unidentifiable. Clearly the verb by itself would not mean "one day later"; the interval needs to be specified.
[2] The verb
u(stere/w is an alternative to
u(steri/zw. Adler reports a similar entry in the
Ambrosian Lexicon.
