Translation

[Meaning] one who is not strong or knowledgeable in warfare.
"For he was unwarlike, and neither his feet nor his hands were fit because of the disease of gout."¹
It is applied also to those who have no excuse for a war yet do what enemies do.²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀπόλεμος· ὁ μὴ ἰσχύων ἢ εἰδὼς πολεμεῖν. ἀπόλεμος γὰρ ἦν, καὶ ὑπὸ νόσου ποδάγρας οὔτε οἱ πόδες οὔτε αἱ χεῖρες ἐτύγχανον ἄρτιοι. τίθεται δὲ καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν μηδεμίαν πρόφασιν ἐχόντων πολέμου, δρασάντων δὲ τὰ πολεμίων.
