Headword:
Halôsima
Adler number: alpha,1401
Translated headword: easily-caught [things]
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning ones] easily taken hold of.[1]
Arrian [writes]: "starting out from the citadels he plundered and pillaged no small part of the land under that man's control, and he was in no way easily caught by him."[2]
Greek Original:Halôsima: eulêpta. Arrianos: apo tôn phrouriôn hormômenos êge te kai ephere tês hup' ekeinôi ouk oligên, kai autos oudamêi ên autôi halôsimos.
Notes:
The headword, which has the same or similar glossing in other lexica (references at
Photius alpha1092 Theodoridis), is neuter plural of this adjective. It is evidently quoted from somewhere -- perhaps
Xenophon,
Anabasis 5.2.3, though there are other possibilities.
[2] Arrian,
Affairs after Alexander fr. 31 Roos (= FGrH 156 F117); again (with a slightly different opening) at
eta 38.
