Translation

[Meaning] by a mistake.
"He bore the oversights of ordinary folk patiently, but those of more intellectual people grieved him."¹
Also [sc. attested is the participle] a)bleptou=ntes. "Those committing oversights and ashamed to face Philip were coming to help."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀβλεπτήματι· ἁμαρτήματι. ὁ δὲ φέρων ἐκαρτέρει τὰ τῶν ἰδιωτῶν ἀβλεπτήματα, τὰ δὲ τῶν λογικωτέρων αὐτὸν ἠνία. καὶ Ἀβλεπτοῦντες. οἱ δὲ ἀβλεπτοῦντες καὶ αἰδούμενοι ἀντοφθαλμεῖν πρὸς τὸν Φίλιππον ἐβοήθουν.

Notes (2)

The headword and the synonym offered for it are neuter nouns in the dative singular (translated here as instrumental datives). The same headword -- evidently quoted from somewhere but not independently attested -- and gloss also appear in other lexica; references at Photius alpha40 Theodoridis. The first quotation illustrates this same noun but in the accusative plural.
1Polybius fr. 90 Büttner-Wobst. Büttner-Wobst notes that this fragment was attributed to Polybius by Casaubon, but not accepted by Schweighäuser (p. 527). ↩
2Polybius fr. 91 Büttner-Wobst. Casaubon also attributed this fragment to Polybius, but Büttner-Wobst notes that Dindorf rejected it (ibid.).
