Headword: Ἐφεδρεία
Adler number: epsilon,3849
Translated headword: keeping watch
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
The action.[1]
"Among Romans death is the penalty for the one leaving the watch."[2] That is, guard duty.
Greek Original:
Ἐφεδρεία: τὸ πρᾶγμα. παρὰ Ῥωμαίοις θάνατος πρόστιμον τῷ λιπόντι τὴν ἐφεδρείαν. τουτέστι τὴν παρατήρησιν.
Notes:
[1] For this headword in a quite different sense see epsilon 3848.
[2] cf. Polybius 1.17.11 (web address 1); pi 2820. The preceding sentence ends with τὰ Ῥωμαίων πράγματα "Roman affairs": this probably accounts for πρᾶγμα in the Suda entry.
