Translation

[Meaning he/she/it] would be taken out,¹ would be thrown out.² It is also said of those who are being thrown out by the sea.
Also said is "[he/she/it] was ‘spat out’ by the sea".³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐκβρασθῇ· ἐκβληθῇ, ἐκριφῇ. λέγεται δὲ καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ὑπὸ τῆς θαλάσσης ἐκριπτουμένων. λέγεται δὲ καὶ ἐξεπτύσθη ὑπὸ τῆς θαλάσσης.

Notes (3)

The headword is aorist passive subjunctive, third person singular, of the verb e)kbra/zw or e)kbra/ttw. It is identically glossed (apart from the last phrase here) in the Synagoge (epsilon174 Cunningham). It is evidently quoted from somewhere; perhaps Aelian, De natura animalium 16.19, where it refers to the so-called sea hare (a kind of sea slug).
For the use of the verb in regard to ships, see Herodotus 7.188 (web address 1).
1Aorist passive subjunctive, third person singular, of the verb e)kba/llw. ↩
2Second aorist passive subjunctive, third person singular, of the verb e)kri/ptw. ↩
3The verb e)kptu/w is rarely attested in such a context. This quotation could refer to Jonah (as in Irenaeus, Adversus haereses 6.26). See also Gregory of Nyssa, On Ecclesiastes 5.290.20 and George of Pisidia, Bellum Avaricum 174.
