Headword:
*(ufei=sqai
Adler number: upsilon,721
Translated headword: to put under, to give way, to yield
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] to disregard, to withdraw.[1] "[... that he] had not indeed yielded his ground, but stayed and held [it]."[2]
Greek Original:*(ufei=sqai: a)melh=sai, u(poxwrh=sai. ou) mh\n u(fei=sqai th=s xw/ras, a)lla\ mei=nai kai\ katasxei=n.
Notes:
[1] The headword is the perfect middle infinitive of
u(fi/hmi (the spelling with
epsiloniota is guaranteed by the alphabetical order). In the quotation which follows, from indirect speech,
Plutarch (see next note) has the aorist infinitive
u(fe/sqai, but the Suda gives it as the headword's
u(fei=sqai.
[2] Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as
Plutarch,
Sulla 14.2. Plut. here quotes Sulla's memoirs, recounting the heroic behaviour of Marcus Ateius in the siege of
Athens (86 BCE).
