they would press hard
[Meaning] they will enter in with force. "Since their enemies' plot was evident to the Carthaginians -- that they would press hard through the collapsed part of the wall -- they made ready for this necessity."
Βιῶνται· μετὰ βίας εἰσελεύσονται. προδήλου δ' οὔσης τοῖς Καρχηδονίοις τῆς τῶν ἐχθρῶν ἐπιβουλῆς, ὅτι βιῶνται διὰ τοῦ πτώματος τοῦ τείχους, παρεσκευάζοντο πρὸς τὴν χρείαν.
