Translation

[A term applicable to] thunderbolts.¹
But a)ghlatoi= [is] a verb,² [meaning he/she/it] leads, thunderbolts³ or pursues.

Ἀγηλατοί· οἱ κεραυνοί. Ἀγηλατοῖ δὲ ῥῆμα, ἄγει, κεραυνοὶ ἢ διώκει.

Betacode

*)aghlatoi/: oi( keraunoi/. *)aghlatoi= de\ r(h=ma, a)/gei, keraunoi\ h)\ diw/kei.

[1] The headword is masculine/feminine nominative plural of this adjective, presumably quoted from somewhere. For the sense, LSJ s.v. cite the phrase a)ghla/tw| ma/stigi (i.e. a purifying lightning-strike) in Lycophron, Alexandra 436.
2And differently accented, as if from a contracted verb a)ghlatou=n; but LSJ has only a)ghlatei=n. ↩
3Textual corruption here: a (plural) noun amidst (singular) verbs. Perhaps it has been carelessly repeated from the first part of the entry.
