Translation

[Meaning he/she/it] created enemies and outsiders. "He handed the men over to the crowds, so that after being rounded up with extreme violence they were received tied up."1
Like "One of the old men approached [...]."2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Παρέβαλεν· ἐχθροὺς καὶ ἀλλοτρίους εἰργάσατο. ὁ δὲ παρέβαλε τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τοῖς ὄχλοις, ὥστε μετὰ πάσης ὕβρεως συλληφθέντας ἀναδεχθῆναι δεδεμένους. οἷον παρέβαλέ τις τῶν γερόντων.

Notes (2)

  1. The headword -- aorist indicative active, third person singular, of paraba/llw -- is capable of a wide range of meanings, two distinct ones of which are illustrated in the two quotations. The initial gloss does not seem to fit with either of the two usages illustrated, or even with attested usages of the verb on its own; something may be missing.
    For other forms of the same verb see pi 513 and pi 514.
  2. 1An appoximation of Polybius 38.17.2 (= Constantine Porphyrogenitus, Excerpta de virtutibus 2.208). The original has "taken away" (a)naxqh=nai) in place of the Suda's "received" a)nadexqh=nai. ↩
  3. 2Perhaps Symeon Metaphrastes, Adler conjectured. More specifically, as TLG searching shows, from the set-up line to a number of sayings of the desert fathers, e.g. Apophthegmata patrum 4.9, 4.69, 4.70. ↩
