But proekulindou=nto [would be] better.¹ Meaning they wallowed before his feet. And [sc. the singular is] proekulindei=to ["he prostrated himself"].

Notes (1)

Entry lacking, Adler reports, in ms F.
The unglossed headword phrase is evidently a quotation, but unidentifiable; for the headword verb cf. pi 2458.
1As in iota 283. (It is unclear why the person who added this material in the margin of ms. A preferred prokulinde/omai to prokalinde/omai.) ↩
