Translation

[Used] with a genitive and [ = or] an accusative, [sc. when meaning] I give up. As, "Phaidon, having despaired of the deeds of the Carthaginians."¹ And, "he having completely despaired of Philemon".² And, "they having despaired of salvation".³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀπογινώσκω· γενικῇ καὶ αἰτιατικῇ, τὸ παραδίδωμι. ὡς, ἀπογνοὺς τὰ τῶν Καρχηδονίων πράγματα ὁ Φαίδων. καὶ, τέλεον ἀπογνοὺς τὸν Φιλήμονα. καὶ, ἀπογνόντες τῆς σωτηρίας.

Notes (2)

[1] Cassius Dio 21.71.2 (where we see that "Phaidon" should be Phameas; cf. phi 62).
2Quotation unidentifiable. ↩
3There are several possibilities for the source of this quotation, the likeliest of which is the full version of the proverb given in the Suda at tau 16: Zenobius 6.16, quoting Dicaearchus, includes this phrase.
