Adler number: epsilon,2364

[Meaning] mock/mocking.[1]
Agathias [writes]: "he came with the intent of scoffing at them for their lack of thought and lack of care".[2]

Greek Original:
*)epikertomou=si: xleua/zousin. *)agaqi/as: o( de\ h(=ken e)pikertomh/swn au)tou\s th=s a)bouli/as kai\ a)melei/as. pro\s ai)tiatikh/n. kai\ au)=qis: ou)x h(/kista de\ *petra/nhs e)lu/phsen au)to\n e)pikertomh/sas toia/de.
Notes:
cf. generally epsilon 2035.
[1] Likewise in other lexica. The headword (from the compound verb e)pikertome/w) is either present indicative, third person plural, present participle, masculine/neuter dative plural. Either way, it must be quoted from somewhere. (Theodoret, who has the only extant instances outside lexica, has instances of both.
[2] Not extant in Agathias, and otherwise unidentifiable.
[3] Again, quotation unidentifiable (and this individual is otherwise unattested).
