Translation

[Used] with a genitive.¹ [Meaning] taking by force.² "The women fled to [the temple of] Artemis, with the barbarian following them savagely; and with the mercenaries abducting and the others held tight, the cord round the throat was severed."³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀποσπώντων· γενικῇ. βιαίως ἑλκόντων. αἱ δὲ καταφεύγουσιν ἐπὶ τὴν Ἄρτεμιν, βαρβάρου πικρῶς ἐγκειμένου, καὶ τῶν δορυφόρων ἀποσπώντων κἀκείνων ἀπρὶξ ἐχομένων, διασπᾶται ὁ κατὰ τοῦ τραχήλου ὅρμος.

1Often true (see LSJ s.v.), though not in the instance quoted below. ↩
2Headword and gloss are genitive plurals of these present participles; the headword is presumably extracted from the quotation given. ↩
3Aelian fr. 49b and 49c Domingo-Forasté (46 Hercher); cf. theta 162, where it is rather different. See also pi 2729.
