Translation

[Meaning he] extending, turning aside.¹ "[Totila] stopped in the space between the armies, not intending single combat, but removing this opportunity for his opponents."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐκκρουόμενος· παρεκτείνων, παρατρέπων. ὁ δὲ ἔστη ἐν μεταιχμίῳ οὐ μονομαχήσων, ἀλλὰ τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον τοῖς ἐναντίοις ἐκκρουόμενος.

Betacode

*)ekkrouo/menos: parektei/nwn, paratre/pwn. o( de\ e)/sth e)n metaixmi/w| ou) monomaxh/swn, a)lla\ to\n kairo\n tou=ton toi=s e)nanti/ois e)kkrouo/menos.

Notes (2)

Equivalent entry in ps.-Zonaras, though only the relevant second half of the quotation is given there.
cf. epsilon 614.
1The headword participle, from the verb e)kkrou/w in the middle voice, is presumably extracted from the quotation given. (The first of the two glosses on it appears to misunderstand it.) ↩
2Procopius, History of the Wars of Justinian 8.31.17 (web address 1) -- which however has the future active participle e)kkrou/swn; cf. Kaldellis (533). For Totila see tau 879. On the Battle of Taginae (Busta Gallorum) in 552 CE, in which Totila attempted this delaying tactic, see also alpha 3124 note.
