[Meaning] of guardians; since also poimai/nein ["to herd"] [is] the [verb that means] to take care of.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ποιμένων· κηδεμόνων· ἐπεὶ καὶ ποιμαίνειν, τὸ φροντίζειν.

Betacode

*poime/nwn: khdemo/nwn: e)pei\ kai\ poimai/nein, to\ fronti/zein.

Notes

From a scholion on Sophocles, Ajax 360, where the genitive plural poime/nwn is the manuscript reading -- though most modern editors print phmona/n [distress, grief], the conjecture of J.J. Reiske (1706-1774). See web address 1.
For the verb poimai/nein, cf. pi 3087.
