Headword: *parairou=ntai
Adler number: pi,502
Translated headword: they detach, they remove
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] they take [themselves?] away.[1]
Also [sc. attested is the related participle] 'detaching'. "But he more from behind [sic], detaching himself arrives in a rush."[2] Meaning taking himself away.
And elsewhere: "for which things there will be no contrivance to render us merciful toward them, with the mass of the charges removing pity for the wrongdoers."[3]

Notes:
[1] = Hesychius pi524, Synagoge, Photius pi232 Theodoridis. The headword, evidently extracted from somewhere (and perhaps with the reflexive sense illustrated below), is present middle indicative, third person plural, of paraire/w. (For another form of the same verb, see pi 501.)
[2] Quotation unidentifiable. (Its transmission seems faulty: Adler reports Kuster's suggested emendation of ple/on to ple/wn ["sailing"]).
[3] Procopius, History of the Wars of Justinian 7.16.21 (here with "us" in place of the original "Goths"; see web address 1). The Gothic king Totila (cf. tau 879) informs the deacon of Rome, Pelagius, that he will show no mercy toward the Sicilians; cf. Kaldellis (412). Respecting a Roman request to not burden the local population, the Goths had posted a token military presence on Sicily, only to have the Sicilians welcome an invasion by a substantial Byzantine force (in 535 CE; cf. Bury (170-171)). On Pelagius and his appeal before Totila for some relief in the Goths' siege of Rome, see also alpha 1585, alpha 2155, alpha 2812, and pi 314.
