Translation

"For he is being attacked by informers, who grow as a malignancy¹ in Cyrene".² [It means] sycophants, accusers.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐνδεῖκται. σπαράττεται γὰρ ὑπὸ ἐνδεικτῶν, κακῶς ἐπιφύντων τῇ Κυρήνῃ. συκοφαντῶν, κατηγόρων.

Notes (2)

For this headword see also epsilon 1166.
1The phrase kakw=s e)pifu/ntwn, literally 'badly growing on', is translated thus because that verb can refer to anatomical parts and excrescences (see e.g. Aristotle, History of Animals 605a3; also in Galen). ↩
2Synesius, Letter 118.9 (256b). See translation at web address 1.
