[Meaning] to pursue, to drive into exile,[1] to set upon.
Herodotus [sc. uses it in the sense of] to do violence.[2]
Agêlatein: diôkein, phugadeuein, epitattein. Hêrodotos, hubrizein.
[1] The first two of these glossing infinitives are paralleled in
Photius, Lexicon alpha162 Theodoridis, where the participle
a)ghlatw=n (said to be extracted from the tragic poet
Nicomachus) is glossed with
diw/kwn and
fugadeu/wn.
[2] A very loose interpretation of the single use of this verb by
Herodotus (5.72.1: see web address 1 below for Greek text), from the ancient glosses on that passage; "drive out" would be better there, as elsewhere. See further under the next entry,
alpha 215.
