Translation:
[Meaning] they were heaping.[1] "And out of this some were mounding, the others fighting back against the throwers."[2]
And elsewhere: "and they were mounding 2 mounds, [one?] on each side, as against the wall. The bricks from the houses became a bond of the mound".[3]

*)/exoun: e)xw/nnuon. ka)k tou/tou oi( me\n e)/xoun, oi( de\ toi=s ba/llousin a)ntema/xonto. kai\ au)=qis: kai\ xw/mata b# e(kate/rwqen e)/xoun, w(s pro\s to\ tei=xos. cu/ndesmos de\ tou= xw/matos ai( pli/nqoi e)gi/nonto ai( e)k tw=n oi)kiw=n.
Notes:
[1] If, as it seems reasonable to suppose, the headword is extracted from the quotations which follow, it is third person plural (rather than the identical first person singular), imperfect, of xo/w. For the glossing verb see under chi 430.
[2] Quotation unidentifiable.
[3] Arrian, Parthica fr.95.
