Greek Original:Σαλεύει: ζῇ, διάγει. τὸν τῆς οἰκουμένης δεσπότην, ἐν ᾧ σαλεύει τὰ πάντα. καὶ αὖθις: ὥσπερ οὖν οὐχ ὑπὲρ τῶν ἐσχάτων σαλεύουσα, ἀλλ' ἐφειμένη δρᾶν ὅ τι καὶ θέλει. καὶ αὖθις: σαλευόντων ἐπὶ λεπταῖς ἐλπίσι πολλῶν.
Notes:
[1] For the verb
σαλεύω see also
sigma 53. Its present indicative active (third person singular), here, presumably comes from the quotation which follows.
[2] Tentatively attributed to
Damascius by Adler, and adopted as such by Zintzen (as fr. 399); however, as C. Theodoridis shows in his
Photius edition (vol.II p.LXXXVIII) this is actually an abridgement of
Josephus, Jewish War 5.88.
[3]
Aelian fr. 319 Domingo-Forasté (322 Hercher).
[4]
Aelian fr. 326 Domingo-Forasté (328 Hercher: here abridged); cf.
tau 235.
