Translation

[Meaning he/she/it] had in mind. Procopius [writes]: "for [Justinian] did not think fit to adapt his deeds to the occasions, but he always did everything out of season."¹
Also [sc. attested is the plural] h)ci/wn ["they thought fit"].²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἠξίου· διὰ φροντίδος εἶχε. Προκόπιος· οὐ γὰρ ἠξίου τοῖς καιροῖς ἐναρμόζειν τὰς πράξεις, ἀλλ' ἀπὸ καιροῦ παντὸς εἰργάζετο. καὶ Ἠξίων.

Notes (2)

The headword (presumably extracted from the quotation given) is imperfect, third person singular, of the verb a)cio/w (alpha 2824).
1Procopius, Secret History 18.29 (web address 1), on Justinian; cf. Kaldellis (84), alpha 2002, and epsilon 1564. On Justinian, see iota 446 generally. ↩
2Evidently quoted from somewhere, but not attested in texts available on TLG. It seems to be from a)cia/w (cited by LSJ from two inscriptions) rather than the usual a)cio/w.
