Headword: *skotai=os
Adler number: sigma,673
Translated headword: in darkness
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[In darkness] (while it was dark) coming.
"Coming in darkness the soldiers saw the bodies and put coverings on them in the Babylonian manner, one man a doublet, one a cloak, one breadcrumbs, one hard fruits; and a great total of small fragments was collected."[1]
"Those who came up later in the darkness were making camp [as each group happened to find themselves]."[2]
Greek Original:

Notes:
The headword phrase (which incorporates its own gloss) is in the masculine nominative singular. It is presumably quoted from somewhere in this form, or generated by such a quotation; cf. e.g. Xenophon, Hellenica 4.5.18, e)/ti skotai=os parh=lqen.
