Greek display:    
Headword: Βρόχοις
Adler number: beta,559
Translated headword: with nooses
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
With ropes.[1]
"They, then, having attached some nooses let themselves down by night from the precinct."[2]
And elsewhere: "by using the nooses they were scaling the defenses."[3]
And [the phrase] "he attaching a noose" [employs] an accusative, even though the [verb] ἅπτομαι ['attach one's self'] governs a genitive.[4]
Greek Original:
Βρόχοις: σχοινίοις. οἱ μὲν οὖν βρόχοις τισὶν ἐνάψαντες νύκτωρ ἀπὸ τοῦ περιβόλου καθῆκαν. καὶ αὖθις: διὰ τῶν βρόχων ἐς τὰς ἐπάλξεις ἀνέβαινον. καὶ Βρόχον ἁψάμενος αἰτιατικῇ, εἰ καὶ τὸ ἅπτομαι γενικῇ συντάσσεται.
