[He/she/it] served [1]. Dio in [the] 16th book of Roman [History writes]: “so both for these reasons and because he strictly paid honour to gods”. Other writers have used this term including Eunomios the impious. And this last [sc. has used it] often.[4]
All the entry is from the
Lexicon Rhetoricum (the Fifth Bekkerian Lexicon) eta248, used also by
Photius,
Lexicon eta14 (Theodoridis 1998) and
Etymologicum Magnum 418.5.
[1] Even though we cannot consider this entry a derivation from
Lexicon Ambrosianum, note that this definition is to be found also in
Laurentianus 59.16 folium 184. For the verb cf.
alpha 130.

Cassius Dio 16.57.39 (on Scipio).
[3] The verb
ἀγάλλω is common in writers of all periods, but is not extant in the theologian Eunomius of Cyzicus. On the other hand it is extensively used by Gregory of Nyssa in his work against the Eunomian theory,
Against Eunomius: for more information on Eunomius see
epsilon 3598.
[4] Although this last phrase is not included in the gloss of the Bekkerian edition of
Lexicon Rhetoricum, according to Theodoridis (
Photius Lexicon s.v.), we can consider it also from there, because
Etymologicum Magnum, the compiler of which had available a better copy of that Lexicon, preserves the phrase.
