[Meaning he/she/it] knocks to the ground. "Throwing [him] from the horse he dashes [him] onto the ground."[1]
Greek Original:
Prosoudizei: tôi edaphei proskrouei. ek tou hippou rhipsas prosoudizei chamai.
Notes:
The headword (presumably extracted from the quotation given) is present indicative active, third person singular, of prosoudi/zw, literally 'I cause to approach the ground' (so the addition of the adverb xamai/ is somewhat redundant). See also pi 2764.
