Headword: *)erumna/
Adler number: epsilon,3106
Translated headword: strong [places], protected [places]
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] places which have been made secure.[1]
Also [sc. attested is the related verb] e)rumna=sqai ["to have been protected"], [meaning] to have been made secure. "But they supposed that they would not at all be easily taken by the multitude of enemies, as they were well protected by the akessa[2] at the rear; the rest they themselves intended to defend."[3]
Greek Original:
*)erumna/: ta\ h)sfalisme/na xwri/a. kai\ *)erumna=sqai, kathsfali/sqai. oi( de\ w)/|onto polemi/wn plh/qei ou)/ ti eu)a/lwtoi, tw=| e)rumna=sqai kata\ nw/tou th=| a)ke/ssh|: ta\ de\ loipa\ au)toi\ dienoou=nto e)pamu/nein.
Notes:
[1] The headword is neuter plural nominative/accusative of the adjective e)rumno/s; cf. epsilon 3107 (for both headword and gloss). It must be quoted from somewhere; Xenophon, Anabasis 1.2.8 or 5.5.2, to judge by the scholia there.
[2] Apparently a Latin word: see alpha 840 (also alpha 203 and epsilon 52).
[3] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable.
