Translation

In Thucydides [this is used] meaning they were cutting down, they were destroying.¹
"They were laying waste all the eastern territory."²
Also [sc. attested is] e)dh/|wsan ["they laid waste"], [used] likewise.³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐδῄουν· παρὰ Θουκυδίδῃ ἀντὶ τοῦ διέκοπτον, διέφθειρον. ἅπασαν κατεδῄουν τὴν ἀνατολικὴν χώραν. καὶ Ἐδῄωσαν, ὁμοίως.

Notes (2)

[1] Thucydides 2.12.5 (web address 1). Imperfect of dh|o/w, third person plural; cf. delta 482.
2Quotation (which illustrates the kata- compound version of the headword verb: kappa 526) unidentifiable, but apparently from late imperial historiography. ↩
3Aorist of the same verb. Perhaps also from Thucydides (12 instances), though there are other possibilities.
