Translation: [In darkness] (while it was dark) coming.
"Coming in darkness the soldiers saw the bodies and put coverings on them in the Babylonian manner, one man a doublet, one a cloak, one breadcrumbs, one hard fruits; and a great total of small fragments was collected."[1]

Notes:
The headword phrase (which incorporates its own gloss) is in the masculine nominative singular. It is presumably quoted from somewhere in this form, or generated by such a quotation; cf. e.g.
Xenophon,
Hellenica 4.5.18,
e)/ti skotai=os parh=lqen.
