"
Plato, in the case of the things he understands, makes a declaration and refutes the false utterly, but concerning unclear matters he holds back."[2] "Arkesilaos the philosopher, because of holding back while promenading,[3] wrote no book at all."[4]
Also [sc. attested is transitive]
e)pe/xw ["I hold back/restain"]; [used] with an accusative. But [sc. middle-voice]
e)pe/xomai ["I prevail over"] [is used] with a genitive. "And the hand prevails over the wicked painter."[5]

Notes:
cf.
e)poxh/ at
epsilon 2824.
[1] Same glossing in other lexica (and cf.
epsilon 2152). The headword, second-person singular imperative of
e)pe/xw, must be quoted from somewhere; Theodoridis on
Photius s.v. suggests the
New Testament (
1 Timothy 4.16) but there are numerous other possibilities.
[2]
Diogenes Laertius 3.52.
[3] See next note.
[4] A careless version of
Diogenes Laertius 4.32: 'while promenading' (
peripatw=n) should be 'about everything' (
peri\ pa/ntwn). For Arkesilaos see generally
alpha 3950.
[5] Quotation not identified by Adler, but TLG searching shows it to come from Gregory of Nazianzus'
Funeral Oration for Basil of Caesarea 54.2.
