Translation
"Two of the tunnels were advanced underwater and below the palisade to be pierced through the earth underneath the enclosure itself."1 Thus "to be pierced through" means to be cut through, to be bored through.

Διατορηθῆναι· δύο δὲ τῶν ὀρυγμάτων ὑπόβρυχα καὶ κατωτέρω τοῦ χάρακος διατορηθῆναι τὴν γῆν ὑπὸ τὸν περίβολον αὐτὸν ἐξενεχθήτην. διατορηθῆναι οὖν ἀντὶ τοῦ διακοπῆναι, διατρυπηθῆναι.
