[Meaning] ones bent into (?)godlike forms, for use of [= as] weapons.

Similarly in ps.-
Zonaras (see further below). The headword phrase, in the neuter plural, must be quoted from somewhere. One might think, from this attempt at glossing it, that its meaning was particularly obscure, but the out-of-place 'godlike' (
qeoeidh=) surely needs emendation. (This whole phrase is ignored in ps.-
Zonaras.) Adler notes Hermann's proposal of
sigmoeidh= ('crescent-shaped', i.e. semi-circular).
For the etymology of the perfect middle-passive participle (from a verb
e)pagkule/w) cf.
alpha 251.
cf. generally
Hesychius epsilon263,
