Translation: [Meaning] they were being solemn [about], were being careful [about].[1]
Polybios [writes]: "for they were treating seriously their retinues and their garments especially, and there was a certain showiness about most of them that exceeded the resources from their livelihood; but they neglected their arms."[2]
Espoudazon: esemnologounto, epemelounto. Polubios: espoudazon gar tas akolouthias kai tas esthêtas diapherontôs, kai tis ên peri tous pleistous kallôpismos huperechôn tên ek tou biou chorêgian: hoplôn de êmeloun.
Notes:
[1] The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is third person plural, imperfect active, of
spouda/zw (
sigma 967).
[2] An approximation of
Polybios 11.8.5-6, on the predecessors of Philopoimen (
phi 409) as Achaian generals. Parts of the same quotation appear at
upsilon 274 and (ectopically) at
chi 395; cf. also
sigma 967.
