Translation

[a)/nw] [sc. can be used] instead of a)na/. Homer [writes]: "not as many as Lesbos↗, seat of blessed men, encloses."¹ And one must apply the augment to e)e/rgei, so that it is restrains, tucks in; it tends to mean establishes boundaries.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἄνω· ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀνά. Ὅμηρος· οὐδ' ὅσα Λέσβος ἄνω μακάρων ἕδος ἐντὸς ἐέργει. καὶ τὴν πρόθεσιν κολλητέον τῷ ἐέργει, ἵνα ᾖ ἀνείργει, ἀναστέλλει· ὃ καταστρέφει εἰς τὸ περιορίζει.

Notes

[1] A version of Homer, Iliad 24.544 (web address 1) followed by the comment of the scholia there. The opening negative here is a simple error; beyond that, "seat of blessed men" should more probably be "seat of Makar" (a mythological king of Lesbos: see in brief OCD(4) p.878); cf. "city of Makar" in Strabo 8.3.31 and esp. 13.1.7, where this line is quoted.
