I don't know whether this factor is involved in the critical literature,
but it's perhaps worth noting that QRIAMBEUW is almost surely a loan-word
from the Latin TRIUMPHO, and the meaning required in 2 Cor 2:14 is
apparently consistent with usage of TRIUMPHO as an active verb in the Latin:
Lewis & Short (from Perseus):
triumpho, āvi, ātum, 1, v. n. and a. [triumphus].
I. Neutr., to make a triumphal procession, to hold or celebrate a triumph,
to triumph (cf. ovo).
A. Lit.: triumphare appellatum, quod cum imperatore milites redeuntes
clamitant per urbem in Capitolium eunti Io triumphe: id a thriambōi Graeco
