Translation
[Meaning] not quiet, nor peaceful, but turbulent [ones].1 One must understand this with synaloephe as a denial of [sc. being] at rest:2 referring to those things at which one cannot keep quiet, but, on the contrary, must be disturbed; or a)ekou/sia ["against one's will"], those things that someone would not willingly bear. Or a)eike/lia , i.e. unfitting. Homer [writes]: "unseemly deeds".3
