Headword:
*)emhxana=to
Adler number: epsilon,986

Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning he/she/it] was contriving.[1]
"He was devising for the mountains to appear unapproachable not only to foreigners but also/even to [his] subjects."[2]
For a 'device' [is] a stratagem.[3]
Not only by its unattainability, but also on account of the rough terrain.[4]

Notes:
[1] The headword is third person singular, imperfect, of
mhxana/omai, presumably extracted from the quotation which follows; cf.
mu 1019,
mu 1020.
[2] Quotation (abbreviated in ps.-
Zonaras) unidentifiable.
[3] This comment is probably derived from the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Knights 850 (as is, more manifestly,
mu 1018).
[4] This adjunct has no apparent connection to the immediately preceding sentence, but seems to be an explanation of the previous quotation. It is perhaps a continuation of that quotation.
