Translation

To be used in preference to "stares at."¹
"The elephants were running up and trumpeting in anger."²
Also [sc. attested is] "[they] looking angrily".³
And elsewhere: "he would have incited and provoked beastliness and anger, if he had ever become lord of the land."⁴

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἄγριον ὑποβλέπει με· μᾶλλον χρηστέον ἢ ὑποβλέπεται. οἱ δὲ ἐλέφαντες ἀνέτρεχον καὶ ἐβόων ἀγριαίνοντες. καὶ ἄγριον ὑποβλέποντες. καὶ αὖθις· ὁ δὲ τὸ θηριῶδες καὶ ἄγριον ὑπεκίνει καὶ διηρέθιζεν, εἴ που κύριος γένηται τοῦ χωρίου.

Notes (3)

[1] The point (hard to convey in English translation) is that the active voice of the verb u(poble/pein is preferable to the middle. The quotation itself, also in Eudemus, is unidentifiable.
2Quotation (with another idiom: the participle a)griai/nontes) unidentifiable. ↩
3Quotation unidentifiable. ↩
4Quotation unidentifiable. (At delta 1012, where it reappears, Adler suggests Aelian.)
