Translation

[Meaning] to withstand.
"Unable to endure their thirst, they dispatched a herald."¹
Also [sc. attested is] a)nti/sxwmai ["I would endure"],² aorist subjunctive, [meaning] I would hold fast against.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀντισχεῖν· ὑπομεῖναι. ἀντισχεῖν τῷ δίψει μὴ δυνηθέντες ἐπεκηρυκεύσαντο. καὶ Ἀντίσχωμαι, αὐθυπότακτον, ἀντιλάβωμαι.

Notes (2)

The headword infinitive is perhaps, though not necessarily, extracted from the quotation given; there are numerous alternatives.
1Quotation (again at epsilon 2037) unidentifiable. ↩
2Evidently quoted from somewhere; extant instances are in patristic writers.
