Translation
[Meaning] to fight a war alongside. "[...] and to side with Pompey the Great not because of fear of the Romans but goodwill towards both the king and the Romans themselves".1
Greek original · Adler’s text
Προσθέσθαι· συμπολεμῆσαι. καὶ Πομπηΐῳ τῷ μεγάλῳ προσθέσθαι οὐ κατὰ δέος τὸ Ῥωμαίων, ἀλλὰ κατ' εὐνοίαν τὴν ἐς βασιλέα τε καὶ αὐτοὺς Ῥωμαίους.

Notes (1)
- The headword (aorist middle infinitive of
prosti/qhmi ; cf. pi 2706) is presumably extracted from the quotation given. - 1For Pompey see pi 2024. This quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) was left unidentified by Adler; now Favuzzi [see under alpha 1596] 213 finds vocabulary-based grounds for attributing it to John of Antioch. ↩
