Translation
[Meaning] to put up with, to endure. "Don't expect us now to undergo your misfortune; for we would be mad [sc. to do so]. Bear yourself, at any rate what is yours, personally [or: suitably]."1
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ὑφέξειν· ὑπενεγκεῖν, ὑπομεῖναι. μὴ νῦν ἐλπίσῃς τὸ σὸν κακὸν ἡμᾶς ὑφέξειν· καὶ γὰρ ἂν μαινοίμεθ' ἄν. αὐτός, ὅ γε σόν ἐστιν, οἰκείως φέρε.
