Translation

[Meaning] to reject utterly. Homer [writes]: "they were ashamed to refuse [the challenge], but afraid to accept [it]."¹
And Aelian [writes]: "they, because they were not in a position to refuse the ordinance, put the decision to Antigonos, on which Locrian city should send tribute."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀνήνασθαι· ἀπαρνήσασθαι. Ὅμηρος· αἴδεσθεν μὲν ἀνήνασθαι, δεῖσαν δ' ὑποδέχθαι. καὶ Αἰλιανός· οἱ δὲ, οὐδὲ γὰρ ἔσχον ἀνήνασθαι τὸ πρόσταγμα, ἐπ' Ἀντιγόνῳ τίθενται τὴν κρίσιν, ὑπὲρ τοῦ τίνα χρὴ Λοκρικὴν πόλιν πέμπειν δασμόν.
