Translation

[Meaning] they who miss nothing, but overcome everything. Alternatively inescapable, inexorable, unfailing, invisible, they who cannot be fled. Sophocles [writes]: "dread Keres are following [him], unerring." That is, those of Laios.¹

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀναμπλάκητοι· αἱ εἰς μηδὲν ἁμαρτάνουσαι, ἀλλὰ πάντων κρατοῦσαι. ἢ ἄφυκτοι, ἀπλάνητοι, ἀπροσπέλαστοι, ἀφανεῖς, ἃς οὐκ ἔστιν ἀποφυγεῖν. Σοφοκλῆς· δειναὶ δ' ἅμ' ἕπονται κῆρες ἀναμπλάκητοι. τούτεστι τοῦ Λαΐου.

Notes (1)

The nominative plural headword a)nampla/khtoi purports to be extracted from the quotation given; in fact Sophocles wrote a)napla/khtoi.
On the Keres cf. kappa 1530, kappa 1531.
1Sophocles, Oedipus Tyrannus 471-472 (web address 1), with scholion.
