Translation

[Meaning] signifying, overseeing,¹ not failing to hit the misfortune, but aiming at it. "For I seem to hear the voice [of Teucer] singing out² a strain which hits on this disaster."

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐπίσκοπον· σημαντικόν, ἔφορον, οὐχ ἡμαρτηκὸς τῆς συμφορᾶς, ἀλλ' ἐστοχασμένον. αὐδὴν γὰρ δοκῶ κλύειν βοῶντας ἄτης τῆσδ' ἐπίσκοπον μέλος.

Notes (2)

Sophocles, Ajax 975-6 (web address 1), with scholion. For the headword, here, accusative singular, see also epsilon 2581.
1cf. scholion on Homer, Iliad 22.255, where the headword occurs in the nominative plural (web address 2). ↩
2Sophocles' text has the genitive singular bow=ntos rather than the Suda's accusative plural.
