To pursue, to drive into exile,[1] to set upon.
Herodotus [sc. uses it in the sense of] to do violence.[2]
[1] The first two of these glossing infinitives are paralleled in
Photius alpha162, where the participle
ἀγηλατῶν (said to be extracted from the tragic poet
Nicomachus) is glossed with
διώκων and
φυγαδεύων .
[2] A very loose interpretation of the single use of this verb by
Herodotus (5.72.1: see Link #1 below for Greek text), from the ancient glosses on that passage; "drive out" would be better there, as elsewhere. See further under the next entry,
alpha 215.
