Translation

[Meaning] I will endure.1 Sophocles [writes]: "I will never put up with these men; but rocky Skyros will be sufficient for me hereafter, to take pleasure alone."2
Polybius [writes]: "but now (for it is not in our character to forswear), let us be content with the present situation."3

Greek original · Adler’s text

Στέρξω· ὑπομενῶ. Σοφοκλῆς· τούτους ἐγὼ τοὺς ἄνδρας οὐ στέρξω ποτέ· ἀλλ' ἡ πετραία Σκῦρος ἐξαρκοῦσά μοι ἔσται τολοιπόν, ὥστε τέρπεσθαι μόνῳ. Πολύβιος· νῦν δὲ [οὐ πρὸς ἡμῶν γὰρ ἐπιορκεῖν] τὰ παρόντα στέργωμεν.

Notes (3)

  1. 1The headword, presumably extracted from the first quotation given, is future indicative of ste/rgw, first person singular. For this verb, see also sigma 1045, sigma 1052. ↩
  2. 2Sophocles, Philoctetes 458-460 (web address 1). For Skyros cf. generally sigma 714. ↩
  3. 3Not Polybius, but (as de Boor indicated) John of Antioch fr.77 FHG (4.568), now 154 Roberto; quoted already at pi 2025. ↩
