Translation

[Meaning one who is] easily changed.¹
One who is inclined first towards one thing, then to another.
"Not only was King Prusias craven, but he was also fickle as regards hardships."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀλλοπρόσαλλος· εὐμετάβλητος. ὁ ποτὲ μὲν ἑτέρῳ, ποτὲ δὲ ἄλλῳ προσκείμενος. οὐ γὰρ μόνον δειλὸς ἦν ὁ Προυσίας βασιλεὺς, ἀλλὰ καὶ πρὸς τὰς κακοπαθείας ἀλλοπρόσαλλος.

Notes (1)

[1] Same glossing in Photius and elsewhere.
2An abridgement of Polybius 36.15.1-2 (on King Pr(o)usias II of Bithynia, a region in northern Asia Minor, Barrington Atlas map 52 grid E4). Editors of Polybius, however, print the more commonplace adjective a)llo/trios. For this version, within a lengthier quotation, see pi 2913.
