Headword: Ἄγριον ὑποβλέπει με
Adler number: alpha,357
Translated headword: looks at me angrily
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
To be used in preference to "stares at."[1]
"The elephants were running up and trumpeting in anger."[2]
Also [sc. attested is] "[they] looking angrily".[3]
And elsewhere: "he would have incited and provoked beastliness and anger, if he had ever become lord of the land."[4]
Greek Original:
Ἄγριον ὑποβλέπει με: μᾶλλον χρηστέον ἢ ὑποβλέπεται. οἱ δὲ ἐλέφαντες ἀνέτρεχον καὶ ἐβόων ἀγριαίνοντες. καὶ ἄγριον ὑποβλέποντες. καὶ αὖθις: ὁ δὲ τὸ θηριῶδες καὶ ἄγριον ὑπεκίνει καὶ διηρέθιζεν, εἴ που κύριος γένηται τοῦ χωρίου.
Notes:
[1] The point (hard to convey in English translation) is that the active voice of the verb ὑποβλέπειν is preferable to the middle. The quotation itself, also in Eudemus, is unidentifiable.
[2] Quotation (with another idiom: the participle ἀγριαίνοντες ) unidentifiable.
[3] Quotation unidentifiable.
[4] Quotation unidentifiable. (At delta 1012, where it reappears, Adler suggests Aelian.)
