Translation

"When [he] learned that they had fallen all at once out of the litter, [he] came before them."¹
And Josephus [writes]: "[they] degenerating all at once into confusions."²
Meaning altogether,³ completely.

Greek original

Ἅπαξ. ἐπεὶ δὲ ἅπαξ ἐκ τοῦ φορίου αὐτοὺς ἐκπεπτωκέναι ἔμαθεν, ἀφικνεῖται πρὸς αὐτούς. καὶ Ἰώσηπος· ἅπαξ δὲ καταστάντες ἐς ταραχάς. ἀντὶ τοῦ διόλου, ὁλοσχερῶς.

Notes (3)

The unglossed headword adverb is illustrated by both of the quotations given.
1Quotation unidentifiable. ↩
2Adler declared this attribution to Josephus mistaken, but the mistake was hers: this is Jewish Antiquities 5.226 (with the singular 'confusion'); see Favuzzi [cited under alpha 1990] 54. ↩
3Likewise in the scholia to Lucian, Timon 19, where the headword occurs.
