Translation

[Meaning] dumbstruck, marvelling. "With him amazed at the conduct".¹
Also [sc. attested is the nominative] a)gasqei/s.² "Amazed at both the city and the people he remained for three days."³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀγασθέντος· ἐκπλαγέντος, θαυμάσαντος. τοῦ δὲ ἀγασθέντος ἐπὶ τῇ προαιρέσει. καὶ Ἀγασθείς. ὁ δὲ ἀγασθεὶς ἐπί τε τῇ πόλει καὶ τοῖς ἀνθρώποις ἐπέμενε τρεῖς ἡμέρας.

Notes (3)

The headword--presumably extracted from the first quotation given--is the masculine (and neuter) genitive singular, aorist passive participle, of a)/gamai. The words used to gloss it are likewise genitive aorist participles.
cf. generally alpha 138, alpha 141, alpha 166.
1A possible echo (as Adler noted) of Polybius 39.3.11 a)gasqe\n to\ plh=qos au)tou= th\n proai/resin ("the people, admiring his conduct"). ↩
2Again, this is presumably extracted from the quotation which now follows (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti). ↩
3Quotation unidentifiable.
