Headword: *ptoi/an
Adler number: pi,3058
Translated headword: terror
Vetting Status: high

[Meaning] commotion, disorder, disturbance, thronging, consternation.[1]
"And a certain terror seized the army on account of the unexpectedness, like [sc. one that would seize those who were] not well-ordered."[2]
Greek Original:
*ptoi/an: pto/hsin, qo/rubon, ta/raxon, sunaqroismo/n, pturmo/n. kai\ ptoi/a me/n tis dia\ to\ a)do/khton e)pe/sxe to\ strato/pedon, oi(=a mh\ suntetagme/nous.
Notes:
The headword is a feminine noun in the accusative singular, presumably extracted from some literary context (but not from the quotation given: see n. 2). For the nominative, with similar glossing, see pi 3057.
[1] = Synagoge pi764, Photius pi1480 Theodoridis; cf. Erotianus 107 Klein, Hesychius pi4234 (and other references in Theodoridis).
[2] Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta of Constantine Porphyrogenitus) unidentifiable. It contains the nominative singular form of the headword (cf. pi 3057).
