[Meaning] they turn around the same place,¹ or wander in a circle.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἰλάσκονται· περὶ τὸν αὐτὸν εἰλοῦνται τόπον, ἢ ἐν κύκλῳ πλανῶνται.

Betacode

*)ila/skontai: peri\ to\n au)to\n ei)lou=ntai to/pon, h)\ e)n ku/klw| planw=ntai.

The headword, with a smooth breathing, is otherwise unattested; and i(la/skontai (cf. iota 300, etc.) can hardly be meant. More likely it is a misspelling of h)la/skontai (cf. eta 193).
1From the scholia on Homer, Iliad 2.470, where the verb is h)la/skousin. ↩
