Greek original · Adler’s text

*metaxeiri/zein: a)nti\ tou= metaxeiri/zesqai. *qoukudi/dhs d#.

Notes

Same entry in other lexica: see the references at Photius mu340 Theodoridis. The middle voice (again mu 746) is more common than the active for this verb, but Thucydides uses it exclusively in the active (five times), and the infinitive cited occurs in 4.18.4 (web address 1).
