Headword: *)hkrwthriasme/nos
Adler number: eta,184
Translated headword: having brought about the mutilation
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Demosthenes in the [speech] For Ktesiphon [writes]: "each having brought about the mutilation of their own homelands".[1] Meaning having injured [them]. For those who injure people are in the habit of cutting off their extremities. However, the passage has "having brought about the mutilation" instead of "having mutilated".[2]
Greek Original:

Notes:
Abridged from Harpokration (and Photius) s.v., where however the headword is (correctly) plural.
[1] Demosthenes 18.296 (web address 1).
[2] That is, a middle-voice participle instead of the active one that would (it is implied) have sufficed.
