Translation
"There were mountains full of all kinds of wild beasts; moving through [the mountains] in circles the soldiers killed many of the beasts."
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ὀργμεύοντες· ἦσαν δὲ ὄρη παντοίων θηρίων ἀνάπλεα, ἃ κατὰ κύκλους ὀργμεύοντες οἱ στρατιῶται πολλὰ τῶν θηρίων ᾕρουν.

Notes
- Küster emended the headword participle (masculine nominative plural) to
o)gmeu/ontes both times (cf.o)/gmos at omicron 26), but Adler notes that Hemsterhuys defended the manuscript reading, comparing Hesychius omicron1378 s.v.o)rxmai/ .
The ultimate source of the quotation is unknown, but it was transmitted via the excerpts made for Constantine Porphyrogenitus.
