[Meaning] to take away from.1 "Wanting to give his own soldiers a rest and to release them from toil [...]."2
And elsewhere Simocatta [writes]: "but as they had been detached from their weapons, they had no way to use their courage."3

Greek original · Adler’s text

Παραλῦσαι· ἀφελέσθαι. βουλόμενος ἀναπαῦσαι καὶ κόπου παραλῦσαι τοὺς ἰδίους στρατιώτας. καὶ αὖθις Σιμόκατος· οἱ δὲ τῶν ὅπλων παραλυθέντες, οὐκ εἶχον ὅ τι χρήσονται τοῖς θυμοῖς.

Notes (3)

  1. 1The headword, presumably extracted from the first quotation given, is aorist active infinitive of paralu/w; cf. pi 394. ↩
  2. 2Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpts made for Constantine Porphyrogenitus) unidentifiable. ↩
  3. 3De Boor (below) doubted that this quotation -- again transmitted, in Adler's view, from the Excerpta -- was from Theophylact Simocatta; and it too is unidentifiable via the TLG. ↩
