[Meaning] they were wasting time.[1] "Having dealt deceitfully with the envoys they were delaying on the pretext of being about to assemble the people."[2]

Notes:
[1] The headword is imperfect of parakate/xw, third person plural. It is presumably extracted from the quotation given, though there are also two instances in Polybius (1.66.5, 23.9.14).
[2] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable.
