[Meaning he/she/it] deserted.1 "But he, being in all respects rather immature and mostly puffed up with authority, went over willingly to the barbarian."2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Μετέθετο· ηὐτομόλησεν. ὁ δὲ ὢν τὰ πάντα νεώτερος καὶ τὸ πλέον μετεωρισθεὶς ἀρχῆς μετέθετο ἑκουσίως πρὸς τὸν βάρβαρον.

Notes (2)

  1. 1The headword is aorist middle of metati/qhmi, third person singular (see LSJ s.v. A.II.5); presumably extracted from the quotation given. ↩
  2. 2Quotation (and individual) unidentifiable. Adler notes Bernhardy's suggestion that new/teros ought to be newteriko/s. ↩
