[Meaning] forcibly, under duress. "But the accursed lover did not spare her, but dragged her out of the temple by force and despatched her entirely without mercy."1

Greek original · Adler’s text

Πρὸς βίαν· βιαίως, ἀναγκαστῶς. ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἐφείσατο αὐτῆς ὁ ἐραστὴς ὁ ἐναγής, ἀλλ' ἐξαγαγὼν αὐτὴν τοῦ νεὼ πρὸς βίαν διέφθειρε μάλα ἀνοίκτως.

  1. The headword phrase is presumably extracted from the quotation (though for earlier instances of it see LSJ s.v. bi/a, II).
  2. 1Aelian fr. 53e Domingo-Forasté (part of fr. 50 Hercher). ↩
