Translation

[Meaning a] pause.
Aelian [writes]: "Loxias¹ and Father Zeus voted for a deferral of death for Phalaris for two years, in return for the extra kindnesses he had shown to Chariton and Melanippos".²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀναβολή· ἀνοχή. Αἰλιανός· Λοξίας δὲ καὶ Ζεὺς πατὴρ ἀναβολὴν θανάτου ἐψηφίσαντο Φαλάριδι ἔτη δύο, ἀνθ' ὧν ἡμέρως Χαρίτωνι καὶ Μελανίππῳ προσηνέχθη.

Notes (1)

[1] Apollo.
2Aelian fr. 46 Didot (= Eusebius, Praeparatio Evangelica 5.35). On Phalaris, tyrant of Akragas (in Sicily) in the C6 BCE, see phi 43 (where this extract reappears) and generally OCD(4) s.v. (p.1120). He was generally a byword for cruelty, so this episode was noted as being out of character. For the lovers Chariton and Melanippos see under (e.g.) alpha 2634, and the lavish narrative in Aelian, Varia Historia 2.4; also Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 13.602B (13.78 Kaibel).
