[Meaning] to receive.¹
Eunapios [writes]:² "another Median arrow receiving on the other side below the lip stuck out somehow opposite." Meaning entering, going in.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Εἰσφρήσασθαι· εἰσδέξασθαι. Εὐνάπιος· ἕτερος δὲ Μηδικὸς ὀϊστὸς ἐπὶ θάτερον χεῖλος ἔνερθεν εἰσφρήσας ἀντιθέτως πως ἀνετείνετο. ἀντὶ τοῦ εἰσδύς, εἰσελθών.

Notes (1)

[1] The headword, evidently quoted from somewhere (other than the quotation given), is aorist middle infinitive of ei)sfre/w; cf. epsilon 715, epsiloniota 254, epsiloniota 255, epsiloniota 267, epsiloniota 332, epsiloniota 333.
2No: Theophylact Simocatta, Histories 2.6.2, as de Boor pointed out. For the gloss cf. epsiloniota 254.
