[Meaning] trembling [ones].[1]
And [there is] a proverb: 'Tantalean punishments'; in reference to those who have good things but are not permitted to enjoy them; like the Byzantines, who did not dare to spend time outside the city.[2]

Tantaleioi: tromikoi. kai paroimia: Tantaleioi timôriai: epi tôn agatha men echontôn, mê sunchôroumenôn de apolauein autôn: hôs hoi Buzantioi, mê tolmôntes exô tou asteos diagein.

[2] cf. Apostolius 16.9 and other paroemiographers; and see Polybius 4.45.6 (where the problem is frequent attacks by the neighboring Thracians: web address 1).
