Translation

Also [sc. attested is] dusana/lghtos ["hard-hearted"] in Sophocles: that is, hard to move, unfeeling, apathetic, unmerciful, stony. "For I should be hard-hearted not to have pity for such a supplication."¹
Also [sc. attested is the related adverb] a)nalgh/tws ["painlessly"], [meaning] without feeling, without being troubled.²
Also [sc. attested is the genitive plural] a)nalgh/twn ["of those without feeling"], [meaning] of those without sympathy; or of those who do not altogether feel pain for someone or feel much pain, of those who have rejected us often. Sophocles [writes]: "alas, you cry the unspeakable deed of the twin unfeeling Atreidae in this grief." That is, in the present misfortune.³

Greek original

Ἀνάλγητος. καὶ δυσανάλγητος παρὰ Σοφοκλεῖ· τουτέστι δυσμετάκλητος, ἀναλγὴς, ἀπαθὴς, ἀνηλεὴς, σκληρός. δυσανάλγητος γὰρ εἴην τοιάνδε μὴ κατοικτείρων ἕδραν. καὶ Ἀναλγήτως, ἀναισθήτως, ἀπόνως. καὶ Ἀναλγήτων, ἀσυμπαθῶν· ἢ τῶν μηδ' ὅλως ἀλγούντων ἐπί τινι ἢ πολυαλγήτων, τῶν εἰς πολλαχῇ ἡμᾶς ἐκβεβληκότων. Σοφοκλῆς· ὤ μοι ἀναλγήτων δισσῶν ἐθρόησας ἄναυδον ἔργον Ἀτρειδῶν τῷδ' ἄχει. τουτέστι τῇ παρούσῃ συμφορᾷ.
