[Meaning him] accepting the office.[1] "When Fabius entered office he appointed to the consulship Publius, who was not himself canvassing for the office."[2]

The headword is present participle, masculine accusative singular, of the verb
paragge/llw; cf.
pi 307,
pi 308. It is presumably extracted from the quotation given, but see next note.
[1] The use of the headword in the quotation appears to require the definition "seeking office" as opposed to "accepting office". The glossing participle
dexo/menon however is not capable of meaning "seeking".
[2] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the
Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable, but the allusion is apparently to Q. Fabius
Maximus Cunctator (dictator 221 BCE) and P. Cornelius Scipio Asina, one of the consuls of that year.
