Headword: Diapesousês
Adler number: delta,691
Translated headword: after it had collapsed, if it had collapsed
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] after/if it had failed. "So it seemed to him safe to make them privy to the action, both if the plan had collapsed and if it had come to fruition."
Also [sc. attested is the related present participle] diapi/ptwn ["collapsing"],[1] [meaning] failing.
Greek Original:
Diapesousês: apotuchousês. edoxen oun autôi episphales echein ti to koinônêsai autois tês praxeôs, kai diapesousês kai suntelestheisês tês epiboulês. kai Diapiptôn, apotunchanôn.
Notes:
The primary headword -- the aorist active participle, genitive feminine singular, of diapi/ptw -- is extracted from the genitive absolute construction in the quotation given: Polybius fr. 125 Büttner-Wobst. For the verb see also delta 935, delta 692. For the glosses see alpha 3591. Büttner-Wobst reports that Schweighäuser proposed an emendation to this passage, reading e)pibolh=s ("attempt, assault") instead of e)piboulh=s ("plan, plot").
[1] Extracted from somewhere else, evidently.
