Translation

In Herodotus,¹ meaning carefully, watchfully or regally.² Also [sc. attested is the phrase] "to conduct one's self cautiously", to take care.
"These men were told in advance to conduct themselves cautiously, in case the enemy made some attempt where visibility was poorest."³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀνακῶς παρὰ Ἡροδότῳ ἀντὶ τοῦ ἐπιμελῶς, φυλακτικῶς ἢ βασιλικῶς. καὶ Ἀνακῶς ἔχειν, φροντίζειν. προειρημένον τούτοις, ὅπως ἀνακῶς ἕξωσιν, εἴ τι ἐκ τῶν πολεμίων κατὰ τὸ ἀφανέστατον πειράζοιτο.

Notes (3)

Similar material in (shorter entries in) other lexica.
1Herodotus 1.24.7. The gloss there now follows here. ↩
2Apparently an inference from the word's supposed etymological connection -- for which see e.g. Plutarch, Theseus 33 -- to a)/nac ('king', 'lord'). See LSJ (web address 1 below). ↩
3Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable.
