Translation

[Meaning] donation/giving.¹
And Polybius [writes]: "[...] not in effect to bring the supplies and the equipment for the army-camps along by sea or on pack-animals, but having travel money in their wallets for ten days."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Χορηγία· δόσις. καὶ Πολύβιος· μὴ οἷον κατὰ θάλατταν τὰς παρασκευὰς καὶ τὰ χορήγια παρακομίζειν τοῖς στρατοπέδοις μηδὲ ἐπὶ ὑποζυγίων, ἀλλ' ἐν ταῖς πήραις δέχ' ἡμερῶν ἔχοντας ἐφόδια.

Notes (1)

[1] The headword is ambiguous in form. With the accent it has, it is the nominative singular of the feminine noun xorhgi/a; this accords with the gloss. The form in the quotation which follows, xorh/gia, is the accusative plural of the neuter noun xorh/gion.
2Polybius fr. 88 Büttner-Wobst. Büttner-Wobst notes that Schweighäuser, evidently aware of the headword's ambiguity, prefaced the quotation with the neuter noun as follows: kai\ xorh/gion *polu/bios. See also chi 395, the last lines of which Küster in his edition transposed to the end of this entry.
