Translation
[Another name for] Zeugnitai. In olden days the term for two horses yoked at the neck was horse-attached. On the one there was a driver, and on the other a hoplite. And now they are used, on official duties, by the Alibyes, who are also called Zeugnitai.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἀλίβυες· ζευγνῖται· ὅτι κατὰ τὸ παλαιὸν ἐλέγετο δύο ἵπποι, συνεζευγμένοι τῶν τραχήλων, ἅμιπποι. ἦν δ' ἐπὶ μὲν τοῦ ἑτέρου ἡνίοχος, ἐπὶ δὲ τοῦ ἑτέρου ὁπλίτης. καὶ νῦν δὲ χρῶνται περὶ ἀρχῆς Ἀλίβυες, οἱ προσαγορευόμενοι Ζευγνῖται.
