Translation
[Meaning he] was promising, was preparing. "Accordingly, while they were hoping for the army of the east [sc. to arrive] from the emperor, and [sc. had] the other hopes that this man was holding out, they showed enthusiasm."1
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ὑπέτεινεν· ἐπηγγέλλετο, κατεσκεύαζεν. ἕως μὲν οὖν ἤλπιζον τὴν στρατηγίαν τῆς ἕω παρὰ βασιλέως, καὶ τὰς ἄλλας ἐλπίδας, ἃς ὑπέτεινεν οὗτος, σπουδὴν ἐδείκνυσαν.

Notes (1)
- The headword verb is presumably extracted from the quotation given. On the basis of the glossing verbs, it can be identified as imperfect rather than aorist of
u(potei/nw . - 1Quotation (from late imperial historiography) unidentifiable. Whether 'this man' is the emperor already mentioned or someone else is unclear. ↩
