Greek original · Adler’s text
Παρεγγυᾷ· δοτικῇ. παραδίδωσι, παραγγέλλει, παραινεῖ, παρακατατίθεται. Ξενοφῶν· βοώντων τῶν στρατιωτῶν καὶ παρεγγυώντων, ἔνθα δὴ ἔθεον ἅπαντες. καὶ αὖθις· ὅτου δὴ παρεγγυήσαντο οἱ στρατιῶται φέρουσι λίθους καὶ ποιοῦσι κολωνὸν μέγαν. ἐνταῦθα ἀνετίθεσαν δερμάτων πλῆθος καὶ βακτηρίας καὶ γέρρα.

Notes (3)
- The headword -- which does not appear in either of the quotations given (but is evidently quoted from somewhere else, perhaps Herodotus 3.8.2) -- is present indicative (or subjunctive) third person singular active, or second person singular middle, of
pareggua/w .
The pair of quotations given illustrate the sense of the verb noted in LSJ s.v.
For other forms of the same verb see pi 518 and pi 519. - 1= Synagoge, Photius pi338 Theodoridis; cf. Hesychius pi751. ↩
- 2An abridged version of Xenophon, Anabasis 4.7.24 (the famous "Thalatta! Thalatta!" scene). ↩
- 3An abridged and garbled version of Xenophon, Anabasis 4.7.25 (a continuation of the previous quotation): "of whoever they were given word" (
o(/tou dh\ paregguh/santo ) should be "with someone having given the word" (o(/tou dh\ paregguh/santos ). This is probably a scribal error rather than a fault in understanding (note the lack of augment onparegguh/santo ). ↩
