[sc. This occurs] whenever it is broken up into several masses of things.[1]
*)esparme/nh para/tacis: o(/tan ei)s o)/gkous plei/onas dialu/htai tw=n pragma/twn.
The same definition is given to the term
e)sparme/nh ("scattered") alone at #64 in the tactical glossary that follows the letter psi. Adler cites
Tact. 59 Köchly and Rostow. (No such term is treated by the mainstream tactical writers:
Asclepiodotus, Arrian,
Aelian.)
[1] The tactical glossary following the letter psi reads, more cogently,
tagma/twn ('of formations') in place of
pragma/twn, rendering the phrase as "...several masses of formations."
