Translation: "[Terrible things indeed,] I a wise interpreter am stirred up with terrible things, neither approving nor denying; I am at a loss as to what I should say: I am aflutter with hopes seeing neither the present nor the past."[1] "Approving" and "denying" things [are] neither trustworthy nor untrustworthy.

Sophocles,
Oedipus Tyrannus 483-6 (web address 1), which reads
tara/ssei ["he stirs up"] - the subject being Teiresias (
tau 453) - for the lexicon's
tara/ssomai ["I am stirred up"]. The participles might be understood as masculine accusative singular (agreeing with "me" understood) or as neuter accusative plural (agreeing with
deina/). The sentence which follows in the gloss, adopting the latter interpretation, is from the
scholia to line 485. See LSJ s.v.
a)pofa/skw.
