Translation

[Meaning they] being about to endure, being about to suffer harm.1 In the Epigrams: "being about [i.e. doomed] to suffer for ever a deserved toil. For it was from you, alas, that we came to such a great workplace of fire."2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ὀτλήσοντες· ὑπομενοῦντες, κακοπαθήσοντες. ἐν Ἐπιγράμμασι· ἔνδικον ὀτλήσοντες ἀεὶ πόνον. ἐξ ὑμέων γάρ, φεῦ, πυρὸς ἐς τόσσην ἤλθομεν ἐργασίην.

  1. See also omicron 746.
  2. 1The headword is future participle of o)tle/w, masculine nominative plural, presumably extracted from the quotation given. Cf. the Lexicon de spiritu (and Hesychius omicron1497). ↩
  3. 2From an amatory epigram by Paul the Silentiary: Greek Anthology 5.226.7-8. The 'you' addressed are the poet's susceptible eyes. ↩
