[Meaning] troops additionally stationed to survey the battle and assist the hard-pressed part.[1]
Thucydides [writes]: "and the baggage-carriers they positioned inside these reserves".[2]
And elsewhere: "Socrates was chairman and neither cast a vote nor voted for condemnation".[3]
Epitaktoi: stratiôtai hoi prostetagmenoi tên machên ephoran kai tôi ponounti merei boêthein. Thoukudidês: kai tous skeuophorous entos toutôn tôn epitaktôn epoiêsanto. kai authis: Sôkratês de ên epistatês kai oute epsêphize oute katecheirotonei.
[1] Likewise in the derivative entry in ps.-
Zonaras, except that Tittman's punctuation there includes 'troops' as part of the headword

Thucydides 6.67.1 on the Athenians at Syracuse (web address 1).
[3] For the quotation cf.
kappa 1021 (end) -- but it is out of place in this entry. It probably belongs, as Gaisford suggested, to
epsilon 2611 (q.v.). In any event this is the famous episode from 406/5 BCE when Socrates (
sigma 829), as chairman of the prytaneis, stands firm against unconstitutional treatment of the
Arginousai generals. Besides
kappa 1021 cf. also
epsilon 3234.
