[Meaning] outrage (?)involving blows.¹
"And indeed the rest of the suffering and the even distribution of evils, though the shared nature of it provided some mitigation, was nevertheless not considered easy in the prevailing circumstances."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Αἰκία· ὕβρις ἔμπληγος. καὶ μὴν ἡ ἄλλη αἰκία καὶ ἰσομοιρία τῶν κακῶν ἔχουσά τινα ὅμως τὸ μετὰ πολλῶν κούφισιν, οὐδ' ὣς ῥᾳδία οὐδ' ἐν τῷ παρόντι ἐδοξάζετο.

For this sense of the headword see LSJ s.v.
See also alphaiota 168, alphaiota 169; and cf. alphaiota 170, alphaiota 171, alphaiota 172.
1Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The adjective e)/mplhgos, otherwise unattested, is appended in the 1968 LSJ Supplement to e)mplhgh/s ('mad, rash'), itself a synonym of e)/mplhktos (for which see under epsilon 1026). However, Hesychius alpha1917 glosses the present headword as plhgh/, u(/bris, ba/sanos, ma/stic, and for the connection with blows see also alphaiota 168, alphaiota 169, alphaiota 170. ↩
