Translation

[Meaning] stillness. Herodotus [sc. uses the word in this sense].¹
"To Hannibal² this provided a greater opportunity of escape; for those who had been wounded were very slow in pursuit."³

Εὐμάρεια· ἡσυχία Ἡρόδοτος. τοῦτο φυγῆς τῷ Ἀννίβᾳ πλείονα εὐμάρειαν παρέσχε· διώκειν γὰρ οἱ τετρωμένοι ἦσαν ἥκιστοι.

Notes (3)

For the headword cf. epsilon 3573, epsilon 3574, epsilon 3576, epsilon 3577, and LSJ s.v.
1For the sense of the gloss, Adler cites Herodotus 4.113.1 (web address 1), where the headword appears in the accusative; cf. Hesychius s.v. ↩
2cf. alpha 2452. ↩
3Quotation not positively identifiable, but attributed by Valckenaer (Adler notes) to Polybius.
