Translation

[Meaning somewhere where] not even a messenger was left behind. "There we endured a messenger-less battle, falling one on another."¹
Also [sc. attested is the verb] a)nagge/llw ["I report"]; [used] with a dative.²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀνάγγελον· μηδὲ ἄγγελον καταλειφθῆναι. ἔνθα μάχην ἔτλημεν ἀνάγγελον, ἄλλος ἐπ' ἄλλον πίπτοντες. καὶ Ἀναγγέλλω· δοτικῇ.

Notes (2)

Same entry in ps.-Zonaras. The headword, evidently extracted from the quotation given, is accusative singular of the rare two-termination adjective a)na/ggelos.
1Greek Anthology 7.244.3 (Gaetulicus), a dedication of swords from the battle of Thyrea; cf. Page (56-57) and another extract from this epigram at theta 420. On the Battle of the Champions at Thyrea, mid-C6 BCE, see gamma 486, omicron 86, and Herodotus 1.82 (web address 1). ↩
