Headword:
*)epraciko/pei
Adler number: epsilon,2855
Translated headword: took by treachery
Vetting Status: high
Translation: "Organizing traitors in it for a long time, he tried to take the city by treachery."[1]
Greek Original:*)epraciko/pei: o( de\ e)praciko/pei th\n po/lin e)k pollou= kataskeuazo/menos e)n au)th=| prodo/tas.
Notes:
The unglossed headword is third person singular, imperfect, of this verb (for which cf.
pi 2214 and
pi 2215), a favourite of
Polybius's. Here it is evidently extracted from the quotation given; in context its sense, it seems, is conative.

Polybius fr. 153 Büttner-Wobst. (A commonplace occurrence, so the individual and location cannot be identified.)
