Translation

[Meaning] they commence hostilities, they depart. "They make inroads, the emperor into Lydia↗ but Procopius into upper Phrygia↗".¹

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐμβάλλουσι· καταντῶσιν, ἀπέρχονται. ἐμβάλλουσι δὲ ὁ μὲν βασιλεὺς ἐς Λυδίαν ὁ δὲ Προκόπιος ἐς Φρυγίαν τὴν ἄνω.

Notes (1)

The headword is presumably extracted from the quotation given. For this verb cf. epsilon 934, epsilon 935.
1Bernhardy attributed this quotation to Eunapius (Blockley, Eunapius fr. 34.[7]). Be that as it may, it seems to relate to the events of 366 CE, when Valens (omicron 764) was moving against the eastern usurper Procopius.
