Translation

[Used] with a genitive. [Meaning] cease [something], may it not happen!¹
Alternatively² arrest!, meaning employ [the procedure of] arrest [a)pagwgh/]. So Demosthenes [sc. mentions this].³
And [there is] a proverb: "stop a stranger in a storm"; in reference to troublesome people/things.⁴

Notes (4)

See also alpha 2869.
1Same or similar material in other lexica. ↩
2The Suda's source now becomes Harpokration s.v. ↩
3Adler cites Demosthenes 22.26, where indeed this imperative occurs. However, Harpok.'s fuller entry had specified the speech Against Konon; so Demosthenes 54.1 (web address 1) must be the passage meant, which mentions the apagoge procedure more generally. ↩
4cf. Arsenius 3.59a.
