Notes:
The headword (extracted from the quotation given) is present indicative middle, second person singular, of
pari/sthmi. For the primary sense of it illustrated here, see LSJ s.v., C.II.1 (web address 1: citing the present instance amongst others); but see further below.
For other forms of the same verb see

[1] Theseus to Kreon in
Sophocles,
Oedipus at Colonus 916-918 (web address 2), with comments derived from the
scholia.
[2] This sense of the headword verb (already anticipated above) is not clearly attested elsewhere and may be an incorrect extrapolation from the Sophoclean context.
