Summons.[1]
"Caecilius, observing him [= Hannibal] emboldened, and wishing to provoke him to make a move, kept the soldiers inside the gates."[2] ['To provoke'] meaning to summon.
Also [the participle in the plural] being provoked, [meaning] being summoned or taking care. "With the senate taking no care [as to] whether they were provoking the slander against themselves in order not to appear to be bringing Marcius against the city themselves, or contending with the populus and habituating it not to condemn lightly a man of patrician birth".[3]

Ἐκκαλεῖται: προκαλεῖται. ὁ δὲ Κεκίλιος θεωρῶν αὐτὸν κατατεθαρρηκότα, βουλόμενος ἐκκαλεῖσθαι τὴν ὁρμὴν αὐτοῦ, συνεῖχε τοὺς στρατιώτας ἐντὸς τῶν πυλῶν. ἀντὶ τοῦ προκαλεῖσθαι. καὶ Ἐκκαλούμενοι, προκαλούμενοι ἢ προμηθούμενοι. τῆς δὲ βουλῆς οὐδὲν προθυμουμένης, εἴτε τὴν καθ' αὑτῶν ἐκκαλούμενοι διαβολήν, ἵνα μὴ δοκοῖεν αὐτοὶ Μάρκιον ἐπάγειν ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν, εἴτε τῷ δήμῳ φιλονεικοῦντες καὶ ἐθίζοντες αὐτὸν μὴ ῥᾳδίως ἀνδρὸς πατρικίου καταδικάζειν.
