Translation

[Meaning] I was set upright as regards the hairs [i.e. my hair(s) stood on end], I was compressed.¹ Homer [writes]: "and the battle bristled".²
And Sophocles [writes]: "I shivered with passion, and I soared on the wings of sudden joy". Meaning I was set upright with delight, I took wing.³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἔφριξα· τὰς τρίχας ὠρθώθην, ἐπυκνώθην. Ὅμηρος· ἔφριξε δὲ μάχη. καὶ Σοφοκλῆς· ἔφριξ' ἔρωτι, περιχαρὴς δ' ἀνεπτόμην. ἀντὶ τοῦ ὠρθώθην τῇ ἡδονῇ, ἀνεπτερώθην.

Notes (2)

[1] The headword is aorist indicative active, first person singular, of the verb fri/ssw (also pi 1428, phi 718 and phi 719. For the glossing cf. the scholia to Homer, Iliad 13.339 (about to quoted: see next note) and to Sophocles, Ajax 693 (from where the headword itself is presumably quoted; cf. below with n.3); also Hesychius s.v. fri/ssei, ps.-Zonaras and Etymologicum Gudianum s.v. fri/ssw, Etymologicum Magnum s.v. fri/ssein.
2Homer, Iliad 13.339 (web address 1); cf. Hesychius s.v. e)/fricen and ps.-Zonaras s.v. e)/frica. ↩
3Sophocles, Ajax 693 (web address 2; read a)nepta/man instead of a)nepto/mhn), with scholion.
