Translation

[Meaning] upbraid, remind. Homer [writes]: "do not bring forward to me lovely gifts of golden Aphrodite."1
Also Aelian [writes]: "and he brings forward to them that which was left behind (?)among the maidens."2
And elsewhere Hesiod [writes]: "Dawn, who furthers [one] on a journey, also furthers [one] in work."3 Meaning very early.

Πρόφερε· ὀνείδιζε, ὑπομίμνησκε. Ὅμηρος· μή μοι δῶρ' ἐρατὰ πρόφερε χρυσῆς Ἀφροδίτης. καὶ Αἰλιανός· καὶ τὸ ἐλλειφθὲν κατὰ τὰς παρθένους προφέρει αὐτοῖς. καὶ αὖθις Ἡσίοδος· Ἠώς, ἣ προφέρει μὲν ὁδοῦ, προφέρει δὲ καὶ ἔργου. ἀντὶ τοῦ πρωῒ λίαν.
