Translation

[Meaning] them who are of age; or the armies, or all gathered together in accordance with age-groups.¹
"They slaughtered everyone who was of age, feeling anger because the people were not subject to their word."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἡβηδόν· ἡβῶντας· ἢ τὰς στρατιάς, ἢ ἀθρόον ὅλα καθ' ἡλικίας. οἱ δὲ ἡβηδὸν ἅπαντας ἀπέσφαξαν ὀργὴν ποιούμενοι τῷ μὴ τοῖς σφῶν ὑπαχθῆναι λόγοις.

Notes (1)

[1] Likewise in other lexica. The headword -- again at eta 18, and see also under omicron 669 -- is an adverb derived from h(/bh (eta 16); see generally LSJ s.v. In the present instance the glosses are in the accusative plural, perhaps because of the passage about to be quoted (but not necessarily so: Photius et al. do not have it).
2Quotation unidentifiable (but 'feeling anger' echoes Thucydides 4.122.5).
