Translation

[Used] with a dative; "on the one hand, that it is annoying in some way to all my [people]";¹ and "you are annoying to me".² But [sc. middle-voice] dioxlou=mai [is used] with an accusative: "to disturb the whole women's quarters".³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Διοχλῶ· δοτικῇ· τὸ μὲν ὅτι τι πᾶσι διοχλεῖ τοῖς ἐμοῖς, καὶ διοχλεῖς μοι. διοχλοῦμαι δὲ αἰτιατικῇ. πᾶσαν διοχλεῖσθαι γυναικωνῖτιν.

Betacode

*dioxlw=: dotikh=|: to\ me\n o(/ti ti pa=si dioxlei= toi=s e)moi=s, kai\ dioxlei=s moi. dioxlou=mai de\ ai)tiatikh=|. pa=san dioxlei=sqai gunaikwni=tin.

Notes (3)

The verb dioxle/w is derived from the noun o)/xlos (cf. delta 1220, omicron 1056). According to LSJ s.v. (web address 1), the construction with the accusative is earlier than that with the dative.
1Quotation unidentifiable with absolute certainty, but a passage of Gregory of Nazianzus, Speech 36 (PG 36 269.35) is very similar: to\ me\n, o(/ti pa=si dioxlei= toi=s kaloi=s (with reference to o( fqo/nos). If we postulate a dittography for o(/ti ti and a misinterpretation of characters for kaloi=s/e)moi=s, it is likely enough that this is the passage in question. (One or both of the other quotations do stem from Gregory's works: see nn.2-3.) ↩
2Probably from Gregory of Nazianzus, Poems about himself (Carmina de se ipso, PG 37 1401.8): ti/ moi dioxlei=s ou)de\n h)dikhme/nos; ↩
3Gregory of Nazianzus, Adversus Eunomianos 2.10 (with the main verb, omitted here, dei=, 'it is necessary'). The quotation is repeated less accurately at nu 433.
