Translation

[Meaning] I will tire.1 Sophocles in Shepherds [uses the verb]: Hector says, when he wants to fight the Achaeans, "sweet to grow weary and to exercise one's hand."2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ξανῶ· κοπιάσω. Σοφοκλῆς Ποιμέσιν· Ἕκτωρ τοῖς Ἀχαιοῖς βουλόμενος μάχεσθαι φησίν· ἡδὺ ξανῆσαι καὶ προγυμνάσαι χέρα.

Notes (2)

  1. Same entry in Photius (xi7 Theodoridis); headword -- which must be quoted from somewhere (perhaps Gregory of Nazianzus' 15th Oration, In Praise of the Maccabees) -- and initial gloss already similarly in Hesychius (xi14).
  2. 1For this equivalence see already xi 2. ↩
  3. 2Sophocles fr.458 Pearson (498 Radt), with the aorist active infinitive of the headword verb; cf. under xi 2. ↩
