Greek original
Ἀνέχει· ἀνυψοῖ, τιμᾷ. Σοφοκλῆς· ἐπεί σε λέχος δοριάλωτον στέρξας ἀνέχει θούριος Αἴας. ἀντὶ τοῦ ἐπεί σε τιμᾷ ὁ Αἴας δοριάλωτον, στέρξας τὸ λέχος σου. ἢ οὕτως· ἀλλ' ἐπεί σε ἀνέχει ὁ Αἴας δοριάλωτον λέχος σου στέρξας. πρὸς Τέκμησσαν δὲ ὁ λόγος, γυναῖκα Αἴαντος αἰχμάλωτον. ἢ Ἀνέχει, ἀντὶ τοῦ ὑπερκεῖται. μέχρι ἐς τὸ ὄρος, ὃ ταύτης ἀνέχει. καὶ πόνοις τε ἀνέχων ῥᾷστα, καὶ σκληρῷ βίῳ καὶ τραχεῖ ἐνειθισμένος. καὶ Σοφοκλῆς· οὐκ ἀνέχουσι τῶν πόνων. ἀντὶ τοῦ οὐ περιγίνονται τῶν πόνων. ἢ Ἀνέχειν, ἀντὶ τοῦ ἐπέχειν. κωλύειν. ἀνέχειν τε αὐτοῦ τὰς ἐπὶ πλεῖον ὁρμὰς καὶ ἐκδρομὰς καὶ πρὸς ἑαυτὸν τὴν σχολὴν ἄγειν.
