They were laying out arguments to one another. "They were making words directed against one another, pontificating and boasting that in many respects seizure of the place would benefit them."[1]
Greek Original:
Ἐλογοποίουν: πρὸς ἀλλήλους λόγους διετίθεντο. οἱ δὲ ἐς ἀλλήλους ἐλογοποίουν τερατευόμενοί τε καὶ κομπάζοντες ὡς εἰς πολλὰ γὰρ τοῦ τόπου κατάληψις τούτους ὀνήσει.
Notes:
For the verb cf. lambda 657.
