Translation

Meaning wretched. Or importunate, out of which [sc. comes the idea that] we will importune [liparh/somen] him. Sophocles [writes]: "and from poor me, these things small but nonetheless wh' I have, give him: this miserable hair, and my girdle, not wrought with daintiness."¹

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀλιπαρῆ· ἀντὶ τοῦ αὐχμηράν. ἢ λιπαρῆ, ἐξ ἧς αὐτὸν λιπαρήσομεν. Σοφοκλῆς· κἀμοῦ ταλαίνης σμικρὰ μὲν τάδ', ἀλλ' ὅμως ἅχω, δὸς αὐτῷ τήνδ' ἀλιπαρῆ τρίχα καὶ ζῶμα τοὐμόν, οὐ χλιδαῖς ἠσκημένον.
