Πολλοί από τα πληρώματα πνίγηκαν, ενώ ο ίδιος ο Αγαλλιανός ἔνοπλος ἑαυτόν ἐπόντωσεν.
Remarks about the translation
Well, it is mixed modern and ancient greek.
According to history, the said general Agallianus drown himself into the sea in order not to be captured, because he was a revolter.

«ένοπλος εαυτόν επόντωσεν» (Medieval Greek) replaced by "ἔνοπλος ἑαυτόν ἐπόντωσεν"

Thank you, dionyq and masters!
And in fact, before asking for help, I have consulted a handby greek dictionary and found the basic meaning of it. However, I was still puzzled about the real significance of such a fact, because in the context, telling him "armed" when committing a suicide is useless for the development of this story or the tenet of this whole text of history book; it is just irrevelant stuff.
I'd rather neglect this exercept if I were the compiler, and resort to other more "specifically-related" reference.
What is your opinion? dionyq

Why do you want an administrator to check this page?
