Translation

[Meaning] captures, incapacitations.¹
Also [sc. attested is the singular] a)pagwgh/ ["proscription"], a written deposition given to the magistrate concerning the necessity to arrest a certain person.
"Then Licinius arrived on the pretext of a proscription".²
So³ the a)pagwgh/ is a type of lawsuit; it is named from a)pa/gein ["to carry off"]. Evil-doers used to be carried off to the Eleven.⁴

Greek original

Ἀπαγωγάς· αἰχμαλωσίας, ἀδυνατίας. καὶ Ἀπαγωγή, μήνυσις ἔγγραφος διδομένη τῷ ἄρχοντι περὶ τοῦ δεῖν ἀπαχθῆναι τὸν δεῖνα. ἐνταῦθα ὁ Λικίννιος κατὰ πρόφασιν ἀπαγωγῆς ἀφικόμενος. τὸ οὖν ἀπαγωγὴ δίκης ἐστὶν εἶδος· ὠνόμασται δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀπάγειν. ἀπήγοντο δὲ οἱ κακοῦργοι πρὸς τοὺς ιαʹ.
