"[Because] of no irregularity having happened in the beginning."[1]
Also [sc. attested is the related adjective] ataktos ["irregular"].
Those who are overly officious in their dealings with the general public and who do something beyond what is proper are called ataktoi ["irregulars"]. But the orators, even when there is an engagement in war, do not compose the engagement in order, but however it happened, randomly and in confusion.[2]
