Translation

[Used] with a dative.¹ [Meaning he/she/it] makes [someone/something] hateful.
Also [sc. attested is] e)xqreu=sai ["to be at enmity"], [meaning] to become enemies. They say that an eagle and a dung-beetle became enemies because each of them broke the other's eggs.²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐχθραίνει· δοτικῇ. ἐχθρὸν ποιεῖ. καὶ Ἐχθρεῦσαι, ἐχθροὺς γενέσθαι. ἐχθρεῦσαί φασιν αἰετὸν καὶ κάνθαρον ἐκ τοῦ ἑκάτερον αὐτῶν θατέρου τὰ ᾠὰ διασπᾶν.

Notes (2)

The headword is third person singular, present indicative active, of e)xqrai/nw. It must be quoted from somewhere; extant possibilities are all post-classical.
1Comparably in syntactical lexica. ↩
2From a scholion on Aristophanes, Peace 129, where Aesop's fable on the dung-beetle is mentioned (and this aorist infinitive of e)xqreu/w -- not the headword verb -- occurs).
