Greek Original:
Λαμπρῶς: τὸ φανερῶς, οὐ τὸ ἐνδόξως. καὶ παρὰ Θουκυδίδῃ: καὶ λελυμένων λαμπρῶς τῶν σπονδῶν. καὶ παρὰ τοῖς ἄλλοις τοῖς παλαιοῖς. καὶ αὖθις: καὶ τὴν ἀπέραντον καλουμένην εἰρήνην λαμπρῶς ἔλυε.
Notes:
[1] Thucydides 2.7.1 and scholia, though the citations probably come most directly from Photius, Lexicon, Lambda207.2. The treaty in question, the Thirty Years Peace of 446/5 between the Greek alliances led by Athens and Sparta, was broken (by the Theban attack on Plataea) in 431. For Plataea see pi 1700; also epsilon 3954, xi 20.
[2] See e.g. Aeschylus, Prometheus 833; Thuc. 8.67.3.
[3] Procopius, History of the Wars of Justinian 2.5.1; cf. alpha 3035. The subject is the Sassanid Persian king Chosroes I (chi 418), who in 540 CE broke the “perpetual peace” by attacking the Byzantine emperor Justinian I.
