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

This position is very needed! Don't you think so?

Please write "Many OF the crews...", OK?
