Translation
Those misbehaving when on guard and spreading beacons hostile to those who have put their trust in the guard and to the advantage of the opposing forces are said to make improper beacon-signals, as Lysias says: "one of these, the senior, was caught in Sicily by Lamachos making improper beacon-signals to the enemy, and was plank-executed."1
Greek original · Adler’s text
Παραφρυκτωρευόμενος· οἱ κακουργοῦντες περὶ τὰς φυλακὰς καὶ φρυκτοὺς ἀνατείνοντες ἐναντίους τοῖς πεπιστευκόσι τὴν φυλακὴν καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ συμφέροντι τῶν ἀντικαθεζομένων παραφρυκτωρεύεσθαι λέγονται, ὥς φησι Λυσίας· τούτων εἷς ὁ πρεσβύτης ἐν Σικελίᾳ παραφρυκτωρευόμενος τοῖς πολεμίοις, ληφθεὶς ὑπὸ Λαμάχου ἀπετυμπανίσθη.
