Translation

[Meaning] undisturbedly.¹
Appian [writes]: "he ordered them not to touch the bodies of the Cimbri¹ until it was dawn, supposing them to be rich in gold."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀψαύστως· ἀνεπάφως. Ἀππιανός· ὁ δὲ τοῖς σώμασι τῶν Κίμβρων ἀψαυστεῖν ἐκέλευεν, ἕως ἡμέρα γένηται, πολύχρυσα εἶναι δοκῶν.

Notes (1)

[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica. (This rare adverb must be quoted from somewhere, but is only attested in lexica and scholia.)
2Appian, Celtica fr.14 (using a verb related to the headword); again at kappa 1615. For the Cimbri, a Germanic tribe from northern Jutland, see generally OCD(4) s.v. (pp.317-8).
