Greek original · Adler’s text

Εὐήλατον· τὸ καλῶς ἐληλασμένον. τὸ δὲ πεδίον ἦν ὕπτιον καὶ εὐήλατον καὶ ἐπιτήδειον ἵππῳ ἐμμάχεσθαι. ἀντὶ τοῦ εὐχερῶς ἐλαυνόμενον.

Notes (1)

[1] Same or similar glossing in other lexica. The headword is neuter singular of this adjective. It must be quoted from somewhere, possibly the quotation given below, though given the separate glossing for that (and the fact that other lexica do not have the quotation), perhaps from elsewhere, e.g. Xenophon, Hellenica 5.4.54.
2Quotation unidentifiable.
