Newer› ‹Older
Go away! You are disturbing sleep, the healer of sickness.If Valckenaer's conjecture is adopted, the line means:
ἄπελθε· κινεῖς ὕπνον ἰατρὸν νόσου.
ἄπελθε· κινεῖς Nauck: ἄπελθ' ἐκείνης codd. Clem. Alex. Strom. 6.2.10.3 (2, 429, 12 Stählin)
ὕπνον ἰητρὸν codd.: ὕπνος ἰατρὸς Valckenaer
Go away! Sleep is healer of that sickness.I've been sick for the past two days.
