Translation
"And they were still more stirred up to anger, and they were threatening to knock the doors out."1 That is to smash [them], to throw [them] down.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἐξαράξειν· καὶ ἔτι μᾶλλον ἐξήπτοντο εἰς ὀργὴν καὶ ἠπείλουν τὰς θύρας ἐξαράξειν. τουτέστι συντρίψειν, καταβαλεῖν.

Notes (1)
- The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is a future active infinitive of
e)cara/ssw . - 1Aelian fr. 252 Hercher (250a Domingo-Forasté).
Hercher and Adler (and probably Domingo-Forasté, though his text erroneously omits the word at issue) follow Kuster in emending the transmittede)pi\ ma=llon ('all the more') toe)/ti ma=llon ('still more'). There is little to recommend this emendation, however, ase)pi\ ma=llon (sometimes written as one word,e)pima=llon ) is well attested in texts as early as Herodotus (e.g. 1.94, 3.104) and Plato (Phaedo 93B, etc.), and in Aelian's day in Diogenes Laertius 1.122.9 and numerous times in Galen; cf. epsilon 2454, epsilon 2455. ↩
