Ajax says: "long and innumerable time brings forth all invisible things and, when they have appeared, hides them. And nothing is beyond expectation, but the terrible oath and the stubborn mind are overcome. For I also, who then endured terrible things, as iron is tempered, have been softened in my speech by this woman."[2]

Notes:
[1] Likewise in the
Synagoge and in
Photius,
Lexicon pi752 Theodoridis, similarly in
Hesychius pi1854 and in a scholion to
Sophocles,
Ajax 649; cf. next note. The headword is neuter nominative/accusative singular of the ambiguous adjective
periskelh/s: see generally LSJ s.v. A (from the verb
ske/llw "dry up") and B (from the noun
ske/los "leg", cf.
pi 1282). The present glossing ought to indicate that this instance falls under A, though
Hesychius (above) adds 'or as far as the feet', which looks like a comment on the
periskele/s garment in
Leviticus 6.3
LXX. Either way, it must be quoted from somewhere (other than the quotation given, which has the masculine nominative plural); extant possibilities for A include Marcus Aurelius,
Meditations 4.28.1.
