Translation

[a)/n tou means the same as] a)/n tinos.¹
"The [members] of the council sent [them] away, having listened to some things but not listened to others, saying that if they needed anything they would send [word] to them."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἄν του· ἄν τινος. οἱ δὲ τοῦ συνεδρίου τὰ μὲν ἀκούσαντες, τὰ δὲ παρακούσαντες ἀπέστειλαν, φήσαντες ἄν του δέωνται, πέμψειν πρὸς αὐτούς.

Betacode

*)/an tou: a)/n tinos. oi( de\ tou= sunedri/ou ta\ me\n a)kou/santes, ta\ de\ parakou/santes a)pe/steilan, fh/santes a)/n tou de/wntai, pe/myein pro\s au)tou/s.

Notes (1)

[1] The glossing phrase is simply a more commonplace version of the headword phrase (the latter presumably extracted from the quotation given).
2Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable.
