[Meaning] they were wasting time.¹ "Having dealt deceitfully with the envoys they were delaying on the pretext of being about to assemble the people."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Παρακατεῖχον· ἐχρονοτρίβουν. οἱ δὲ δολίως τοῖς πρέσβεσι προσενεγκάμενοι παρακατεῖχον ὡς συνάξοντες τὸν δῆμον.

Notes (2)

1The headword is imperfect of parakate/xw, third person plural. It is presumably extracted from the quotation given, though there are also two instances in Polybius (1.66.5, 23.9.14). ↩
2Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. ↩
