Greek display:    

Headword: *)esparme/nh para/tacis
Adler number: epsilon,3180
Translated headword: scattered formation
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[sc. This occurs] whenever it is broken up into several masses of things.[1]
Greek Original:
*)esparme/nh para/tacis: o(/tan ei)s o)/gkous plei/onas dialu/htai tw=n pragma/twn.
Notes:
The same definition is given to the term e)sparme/nh ("scattered") alone at #64 in the tactical glossary that follows the letter psi. Adler cites Tact. 59 Köchly and Rostow. (No such term is treated by the mainstream tactical writers: Asclepiodotus, Arrian, Aelian.)
[1] The tactical glossary following the letter psi reads, more cogently, tagma/twn ('of formations') in place of pragma/twn, rendering the phrase as "...several masses of formations."
