Translation

[Meaning he] having dug through.¹ "For having cut through all the sand under the skirts of Olympus, he found much drinkable water".²
And elsewhere: "having cut through the snow on it [...] he finished building up the edge of the cliff".³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Διαμησάμενος· διορύξας. διαμησάμενος γὰρ πᾶσαν τὴν ὑπὸ τὰ κράσπεδα τοῦ Ὀλύμπου ἄμμον ὕδωρ πολὺ καὶ πότιμον εὗρεν. καὶ αὖθις· διαμησάμενος τὴν χιόνα τὴν ἐπ' αὐτῇ ἐξῳκοδόμει τὸν κρημνόν.

Notes (3)

The headword participle is illustrated by both of the quotations given.
1cf. alpha 1578. ↩
2Adler misplaces her Polybius reference -- see next note -- here. In fact this quotation, not identified by her, is identifiable via the TLG as a version of a sentence in Zonaras' epitome of Cassius Dio (vol. I p.297.11-12 Boissevain). See in brief C. Theodoridis in his Photius edition, vol.II p.LXXXIX. Favuzzi (below) 219-221 takes up the matter more fully, seeking to determine how far Zonaras preserves Dio's ipsissima verba. ↩
3Polybius 3.55.6 (abridged and paraphrased), on Hannibal's crossing of the Alps.
