Headword: Polemizei
Adler number: pi,1884
Translated headword: fights, makes war
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Josephus [writes] concerning the rebels during Titus' siege [sc. of Jerusalem]: "and with the war making war on itself with impunity [...]."[1]
But polemw= [sc. is the usual] verb.
Greek Original:
Polemizei: Iôsêpos peri tôn stasiôtôn epi tês Titou poliorkias: kai tou polemou met' adeias antipolemizontos heauton. Polemô de rhêma.
Notes:
The unglossed headword verb must be quoted from somewhere (other than the quotation given, which uses a compound -- though see next note); perhaps Homer, who has 2 instances.
[1] Josephus, Jewish War 5.73 (where however the participle is a)ntipoli/zontos, "building up as an opposing city"); more fully already at alpha 447.
