Translation
[Meaning] to drive out as a curse and accursed people.1
If [the breathing is] rough, [it means] to drive out curses; but if smooth, it means to drive away. "You seem to me to be in sad shape, you and the one who arranged to drive out these things".2
And Herodotus [writes]: "he arrived with a large force and drove out seven hundred Athenian families as accursed."3
