Translation

[Used] with an accusative. [Meaning they] suffering ridicule.¹ "Laughed at and enduring pipe music, the Spartans were deprived of their walls."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Καταυλούμενοι· αἰτιατικῇ. χλευαζόμενοι. ἀφῃρέθησαν δὲ οἱ Λακεδαιμόνιοι τῶν τειχῶν γελώμενοί τε καὶ καταυλούμενοι.

Notes (1)

[1] The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is present middle/passive participle, masculine nominative plural, of the verb kataule/w. See LSJ s.v. for its range of direct and applied senses.
2This unattributable quotation ludicrously turns upside down the famous scene in Xenophon, Hellenica 2.2.23 (where the Athenians suffer this indignity in 404 BCE after losing the Peloponnesian War): ta\ tei/xh kate/skapton u(p' au)lhtri/dwn pollh=| proqumi/a|. (For the same mistake in reverse see beta 442; and cf. also iota 411.)
