The same headword, as transmitted, as epsilon 1021 (q.v.) -- but see n.2 below.
1Present participle, masculine nominative plural, presumably extracted from the quotation given. ↩
2Aelian fr. 250d Domingo-Forasté. Adler's note reads: '[Polyb.] fr.135, Aelian fr.252(?)'. The Aelian editors, Hercher and Domingo-Forasté, give the participle as e)mpalasso/menoi, "being entangled in"; cf. epsilon 994.
