Translation
Appian [writes]: "at once they incited the Britons to violate their oath, as [the Britons] alleged that although a treaty with them was in force the camp [= army] was still present among them."1

- The unglossed headword, aorist infinitive of
parorke/w , is presumably extracted from the quotation (its only other attestation). - 1Appian, Gallica fr.19. ↩
