Translation

[Meaning] ignorant.¹ Polybius [writes]: "of all these things the Aetolians were deceived".²
And elsewhere: "they were deceived in their calculations; for Hannibal forestalled them by taking the city [of Saguntum]".³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Διεψευσμένοι· ἠγνοηκότες. Πολύβιος· πάντων τούτων ἦσαν διεψευσμένοι οἱ Αἰτωλοί. καὶ αὖθις· διεψεύσθησαν δὲ τοῖς λογισμοῖς· κατετάχησε γὰρ αὐτοὺς Ἀννίβας ἐξελὼν τὴν πόλιν.

Notes (2)

[1] The headword, presumably extracted from the first quotation given, is perfect passive participle, masculine nominative plural, of diayeu/dw.
2Polybius fr. 30 Büttner-Wobst. Büttner-Wobst inserted (p. 518) oi( *ai)twloi/ (the Aetolians), into the fragment, which Adler here transmits. ↩
3Polybius 3.16.5; cf. kappa 1003. The eastern Iberian coastal city of Saguntum (Barrington Atlas map 27 grid E2; modern day Sagunto, Valencia province, Spain) succumbed to Hannibal's assault (219 BCE) after an eight month siege.
