Translation

[Meaning] they received, they admitted.¹ "They accepted Kinneas. And entering the city he sought to speak impressively about Pyrrhus."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐνεδέχοντο· παρελάμβανον, εἰσεδέχοντο. οἱ δὲ τὸν Κιννέαν ἐνεδέχοντο. καὶ παρελθὼν ἐς τὴν πόλιν ἐσεμνολόγει περὶ Πύρρου.

Notes (1)

[1] The headword is imperfect, third person plural, of e)nde/xomai (cf. epsilon 1160, epsilon 1163), presumably extracted from the quotation given.
2Valckenaer attributed this quotation to Polybius; Mai, to Cassius Dio; Gaisford associated it with delta 1478 (Aelian fr. 6 Hercher). With the aid of the TLG it can in fact be identified as a version of Appian, Samnitica 10.2 (on K. addressing the Roman senate): kai\ parelqw\n o( *Kine/as e)s to\ bouleuth/rion a)/lla te polla\ peri\ tou= basile/ws e)semnolo/gei ktl.
For King Pyrrhus of Epirus, in any event, cf. pi 3232; and 'Kinneas' (more properly spelled with single nu, like his namesake and ancestor kappa 1637) was one of his generals (see e.g. Plutarch, Pyrrhus 14-22 passim).
