[Used] with an accusative.¹ In reference to lifting up.
Philosophers² used to take care also to gather up their clothing in an orderly fashion, and they mocked those who did not do this. Plato in Theaetetus [writes]: "those who are able to perform all services sharply and smartly, but who do not know how to gather up [sc. their clothing] in a gentlemanly left-to-right manner, or to take up a harmony of words to praise the gods."³ But concerning clothing Alexis speaks as follows: "for this one thing I consider to be among those unbecoming to gentlemen: to walk without rhythm in the streets, when it is possible [to walk] nobly. No tax is levied for this -- on us, I mean -- and we do not have to bestow an honour to receive it from others; rather, it brings a certain quota of repute to those who use it, and pleasure to those who see it, and order to life. Who with any claim to sense would not [wish to] win it for himself?."⁴
[Also attested is] a)nalamba/nein, meaning to refresh/restore. Appian [writes]: "then someone went at a run to show [this] to the Persian as he was bathing himself and refreshing his body. He sprang out of the water, shouting that he might be taken before the battle."⁵
