Translation

[Meaning] a retreat.
"To order his following slaves to hasten the return journey."¹ [Meaning] the turning back, the way back.
Procopius [writes]: "Chosroes did not want to make the return journey by the same [way] he had come."² That is, the way back.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀποπορεία· ἡ ἐπαναχώρησις. ἐκκελεύσασθαι δὲ τοῖς ἑπομένοις οἰκέταις ἐπιταχῦναι τὴν ἀποπορείαν. τὴν ἀποστροφὴν, τὴν ἐπάνοδον. Προκόπιος· ὁ δὲ Χοσρόης οὐκ ἐβούλετο τὴν ἀποπορείαν, ᾗπερ ἐληλύθει, ποιήσασθαι. τουτέστι τὴν ἐπάνοδον.
