Translation

[Meaning] deceptions, all sorts of cunning.¹ "They considered bearing witness to them in written statements. But since this was not allowed to happen simply and customarily because of the fear of the king/emperor, they employed customs which had not been devised without ingenuity."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Δατοῖς· δόλοις, πανουργεύμασιν. ἐσκόπησαν ἐγγράφοις προσρήμασι διαμαρτύρασθαι αὐτούς. ἀλλ' ἐπεὶ τοῦτο οὐχ ἁπλῶς καὶ ὡς ἔθος ἐνεχώρει γενήσεσθαι διὰ τὸν τοῦ βασιλέως φόβον, δατοῖς οὐκ ἔξω δεινότητος τεχνασθεῖσιν ἐχρήσαντο.

Notes (2)

The headword, dative plural, is presumably extracted from the quotation given.
cf. delta 90.
1Same headword and glosses in ps.-Zonaras, but no quotation there. ↩
2Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable.
