Headword: Ῥεμβώδους
Adler number: rho,97
Translated headword: desultory
Vetting Status: high

Greek Original:
Ῥεμβώδους: ἠμελημένης. τῆς δὲ πολιορκίας ῥεμβώδους γενομένης, ὁ μὲν Σκόπας ἠδόξει καὶ διεβέβλητο νεανικῶς. καὶ αὖθις: εὑρὼν δὲ αὐτοὺς διαρεμβομένους κατὰ τὸ τέμενος ἀόπλους, τούτους ἀπέκτεινε.
Notes:
The headword, genitive singular of this adjective, is presumably extracted from the first quotation given.
[1] Polybius 16.39.2 (web address 1); cf. under sigma 654.
[2] This second quotation illustrates a compound verb cognate with the headword adjective. It is attributed by Adler to Aelian (though LSJ s.v. διαρρέμβομαι opt for "anon").
