Translation

[Meaning] impending.¹ "They reckoned that everything could be endured because of the magnitude of the danger still hanging over them."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐπικρεμαμένου· ἐπικειμένου. οἱ δὲ ὑπὸ μεγέθους τοῦ ἐπικρεμαμένου ἔτι κινδύνου πάντα οἰστὰ ἐλογίζοντο.

Betacode

*)epikremame/nou: e)pikeime/nou. oi( de\ u(po\ mege/qous tou= e)pikremame/nou e)/ti kindu/nou pa/nta oi)sta\ e)logi/zonto.

Notes (1)

[1] The headword is perfect middle-passive participle of e)pikrema/nnumi, masculine/neuter genitive singular. It is probably extracted from the quotation given here (though there is an earlier instance in Herodotus 9.33.5).
2Thucydides 7.75.7 (web address 1), quoted approximately; see also omicroniota 177.
