Translation

[Meaning] providing length.¹ "It seemed [to the Homeritae] to be difficult, crossing a deserted territory and a route stretching out for a long time, to go [against a people ...]."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Κατατείνουσαν· μακρότητα παρέχουσαν. χαλεπὸν ἔδοξεν εἶναι χώραν ἀμειψαμένοις ἔρημόν τε καὶ χρόνου πολλοῦ ὁδὸν κατατείνουσαν ἰέναι.

Notes (2)

1The headword (presumably extracted from the quotation given) is present active participle, feminine accusative singular, of katatei/nw; cf. kappa 818. ↩
2Procopius, History of the Wars of Justinian 1.20.12. Justinian wants the Homeritae, a people of Arabia, to attack Persia; but they are reluctant. The passage quoted at sigma 337 comes shortly before this excerpt. ↩
