Having fallen in [sc. to prison].
Aorist participle (nominative masculine plural) of the verb
ἐναλίσκομαι , with passive meaning. Silimarly glossed in other lexica; and cf. also
Hesychius, Lexicon epsilon2635, glossing the singular
ἐναλόντα as
συλληφθέντα, κρατηθέντα .
The gloss is the aorist active participle, also in the masculine nominative plural of the verb
ἐμπίπτω , literally “I fall in/into”. This verb is often applied by orators to the meaning of “be thrown into prison”: see e.g.
Dinarchus 2.9,
Demosthenes 25.60
εἰς δεσμωτήριον . It can be used absolutely (Lucian,
Toxaris 28).
