Translation: [Meaning moving] with a certain impulse and rush.[1]

Notes:
See already
rho 217, and cf.
rho 216.
[1] cf.
rho 220.
[2] A excerpt, with slight modification, of
Josephus,
Jewish War 6.161 (the original has 'the/his horse' rather than 'a horse'). See web address 1. A looser paraphrase of the same passage is given at
sigma 1098; cf. also
tau 691.
[3] Quotation (already in part at
epsilon 1431) unidentifiable.
[4] cf.
rho 220. The present phrase seems to be proffered as a gloss on the quotation just given, but it also has parallels in the
scholia on
Homer,
Odyssey 5.412 (where a crashing wave is mentioned); see also
Hesychius s.v. and
Etymologicum Magnum 705.10.
[5] From Harpokration (and
Photius) s.v., glossing
Hyperides fr. 157 Jensen, and going on to cite
Aristophanes and
Thucydides.
