The adverb παντᾰχόθεν means 'from all sides' or 'from every quarter' in spatial contexts: 'to be surrounded on all sides,' or 'from all parts of Asia.' Metaphorically extended, it can mean 'in every way' or 'completely': 'Greece was completely restrained from war,' or 'well-equipped in every respect for war.' The word emphasizes totality and comprehensiveness, whether of physical encirclement or complete fulfillment of conditions.
