Translation

[Meaning] to repay a favor. Sophocles in Colchians [writes]: "or will you promise on oath to requite a favor?"¹
Aristotle said that a)nqufai/resis ["corresponding diminution"] [means] cancellation.²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀνθυπουργῆσαι· τὸ ἀνταποδοῦναι χάριν. Σοφοκλῆς Κολχίσιν· ἢ φὴς ὑπομνὺς ἀνθυπουργῆσαι χάριν; ὅτι ὁ Ἀριστοτέλης τὴν ἀνθυφαίρεσιν ἀνταναίρεσιν εἴρηκεν.

The headword, aorist active infinitive of a)nqupourge/w, is presumably extracted from the quotation given.
