Headword:
*ku/klwsis
Adler number: kappa,2653
Translated headword: encircling movement
Vetting Status: high
Translation: A type of [sc. military] formation. "[They] showing in one day[1] [...] and how to encircle by means of outstanding bravery, displaying [sc. the deficiencies of] exercise in time of plenty in comparison to experience in battle."[2]
Greek Original:*ku/klwsis: parata/cews ei)=dos. dei/cantes e)n h(me/ra mia=| kai\ o(/pws kuklw/sasqai di' u(perbolh\n a)ndrei/as, para\ th\n xrei/an tou= pole/mou th\n e)pi\ th=s e)cousi/as a)/skhsin e)ndeica/menos.
Notes:
[1] Reading
h(me/ra| mia=|, just as (albeit in reverse order) at
pi 1122: see next note. (Adler's
h(me/ra mia=| is surely just a slip.)
[2] Source unknown, but quoted at greater length at
pi 1122 (and see also
theta 63). The quotation displays not the headword but a related verb. Curiously, the headword does appear (in the accusative) in part of the quotation omitted here.
