The word ἀμφίβληστρα is the nominative or accusative plural of ἀμφίβληστρον, which means what is thrown round: fetters, bonds, hunting or fishing nets, tunics, temple walls, etc.
The word ἐπισπῶνται is the 3rd pl pres ind mp of ἐπισπάω - draw or drag after one, metaph., bring on, cause; pull to; attract, gain, win; draw on, allure, persuade; Med., absorb; Med., draw in, call in; overturn; Med., draw the prepuce forward, become as if uncircumcised.
I confess that at the moment I don't know what to think: are these the tunics (re)pulled, the walls of a temple overturned, or something completely different?
