Translation

[To run at] is different from to pursue after. For someone 'runs at' a person who is not fleeing, whereas he 'pursues'¹ someone who is fleeing. To pursue is like to drive [away].² Hence another term in use is u(podiw/kein.³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐπιτρέχειν τοῦ ἐπιδιώκειν διαφέρει. ἐπιτρέχει μὲν γάρ τις τῷ μὴ φεύγοντι, διώκει δὲ τὸν φεύγοντα. ἔστι δὲ τὸ διώκειν οἷον ἐλαύνειν. ἔνθεν καὶ ὑποδιώκειν λέγεται.

Notes (3)

For the primary headword, present active infinitive of e)pitre/xw, see already epsilon 2725 (and also under alpha 3612, where it is opposed to a)potre/xein).
1The verb of comparison shifts from e)pidiw/kein to simple diw/kein. ↩
2For synonymy between diw/kw and e)lau/nw see also under delta 1232. ↩
3u(podiw/kein occurs only here and in the mirror-entry in ps.–Zonaras (and is ignored by LSJ). The preverb u(po- presumably adds the sense of doing something secretly.
