Greek original · Adler’s text
Συνερρώγει· εἰς χεῖρας ἦλθον. πόλεμον συνῆψαν τὰ στρα- τόπεδα, ὅσον οὔπω συνερρώγει, περὶ πλήθουσαν ἀγοράν· καὶ ἀκροβολισμοί τινες τῶν ψιλῶν ἐγίνοντο βέλη τε ἐξικνεῖτο καὶ ἀσπὶς ἐψόφει.

Notes (1)
- Adler reports the same lemma in the Ambrosian Lexicon. The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is (intransitive) pluperfect, third person singular, of
surrh/gnumi , literally 'it had dashed together'. For this with polemos cf. sigma 1502 (and another instance in Cassius Dio 38.47.7). - 1Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable, but evidently from post-classical historiography. For the time of day when a city's agora was crowded cf. pi 1255, pi 1745. ↩
