Your whole problem are 2 letters, it's not ἀγρῷ but ᾱ̓ργῷ = pigrō(dat.) (can I speak Latin to you? )

= Famēs enim virum pigrum sequitur.

 

[Glabrigausapes]

Adeo uerbum ἕπομαι Graece gubernat casum datiuom (ἕπεσθαί τινι = 'aliquem sequi')

La palabra ἕπομαι rige el dativo en griego.

Well, can't you see the difference? In the latter there is rho followed by gamma, in the former there is gamma followed by rho, it's different words altogether. One means field (ager), the other means lazy (iners/piger). That's what I mean

oh! thanks! so it means lazy! i wrote it in a bad form!

 

[Godmy]

Yeah, it had confused me for a moment too, when I was trying to figure out your problem.
