Adler number: alpha,293
Translated headword: our [possessions] being led off
Vetting Status: high

Greek Original:
Agomenôn tôn hêmeterôn: anti tou harpazomenôn kai lêisteuomenôn. agontes kai pherontes, dia pasês ideas leêlatountes kai porthountes tên chôran. kai authis: oudenos amunomenou kata tên pollên adeian agontes kai pherontes dietelesan.
Notes:
[1] Same glossing in other lexica. The headword phrase, in the genitive plural, is evidently quoted from somewhere.
On the idiomatic a)/gein kai\ fe/rein, see alpha 209 and epsilon 427 (and LSJ on a)/gw I.3). Compare Latin ferre et agere: e.g. Livy 22.3, 7 postquam res sociorum ante oculos prope suos ferri agique vidit; 38.15 ut ferri agique res suas viderunt, 3.37 (the same).
[2] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable.
[3] C. Theodoridis (at vol.II p.LXXX of his Photius edition) plausibly identifies the source of this passage as a lost section of Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Roman Antiquities, on the basis of close phraseological parallels in 2 passages of that work: 3.50.4 and 5.52.2.
