[Meaning] they rushed at, they ran upon, they laid hold of.¹
"The evils of the Egyptians, those in the city of Alexandria, fell also upon Rome."² Varro says [this].³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐγκατέσκηψαν· ἐφώρμησαν, ἐπέδραμον, ἐπεδράξαντο. Αἰγυπτίων κακά, τὰ ἐν τῇ Ἀλεξανδρείᾳ πόλει, ἐγκατέσκηψε καὶ τῇ Ῥώμῃ. Οὐάρων φησίν.

Notes (2)

[1] The headword, which has the same or similar glossing in other lexica (e.g. Hesychius epsilon202), is third person plural, aorist indicative active, of the verb e)gkataskh/ptw. It is evidently quoted from somewhere (other than the quotation given, which has the corresponding third person singular, with neuter plural subject); probably (as Latte on Hesychius suggests) Philo Judaeus, De vita contemplativa 2, its only independent attestation.
2Aelian fr. 286 Domingo-Forasté (288 Hercher); cf. lambda 465. ↩
3This, also in ps.-Zonaras, is not part of the Aelian fragment. For 'Varro' cf. omicron 767.
