[Meaning] elation, affectation. "Having observed the presumptuousness of the fellows in both their private dealings with one another and in their public behaviour, they returned out of it1 into [sc. the presence of] the general".2
Also [sc. attested is] the verb "I am presumptuous".3

Notes (3)

  1. The headword, in the accusative case, is presumably extracted from the quotation given.
  2. 1Something feminine: perhaps a city or a comparable geographical term, or else an abstract noun of this gender. For the first cf. Polybius 2.19.4 (e)k me\n th=s *(rwmai/wn e)parxi/as a)sfalw=s e)panh=lqon); for the second, cf. Polybius 4.54.4 (e)c a)nastrofh=s e)panh=lqon). ↩
