Translation
The Attic writers [say] a)nu/tein for that which we [call] a)nu/ein , but a(nu/ein [is] to hasten, with the first letter aspirated. Also [sc. attested is] a)nu/tousi , they achieve, they accomplish [a)nu/ousi ]. And Homer [uses] a)nu/ein like we do: "I do not accomplish [anything by] being envious."1
Also [sc. attested is]ai)/nuto ["took hold of"], [meaning] took away, seized.2
Also [sc. attested is]a)nu/oi , optative.

Ἀνύειν. Ἀνύτειν οἱ Ἀττικοὶ, ὅπερ ἡμεῖς ἀνύειν, ἁνύειν δὲ τὸ σπεύδειν, δασεῖα ἡ πρώτη. καὶ Ἀνύτουσι, τελοῦσιν, ἀνύουσι. καὶ Ὅμηρος δὲ τὸ ἀνύειν ὡς ἡμεῖς· οὐκ ἀνύω φθονέουσα. καὶ Αἴνυτο, ἀφῃρεῖτο, ἐλάμβανε. καὶ Ἀνύοι, εὐκτικῶς.
