συνεφέρετο παλιγκότως: translate ‘their misfortunes began again’. παλιγκότως is used of a wound becoming malignant again. No previous misfortune occurs in the Cyrenaic version of the story, but H. probably refers to αὐχμός of 151. 1, forgetting that it is the very visitation which he is here mentioning. παλιγκότως, however, often = ‘adverse’ without any idea of recurrence.
