Long-lived.[1]
Sophocles (writes): "I indeed do not have a desire for a long-lasting life, I who endure this report." [Kreon] means, I do not want to live with this reputation.[2]
Greek Original:
Μακραίωνας: μακροβίους. Σοφοκλῆς: οὔτοι βίου μοι τοῦ μακραίωνος πόθος, φέροντι τήνδε βάξιν. ἀντὶ τοῦ οὐ βούλομαι ζῆν ἐπὶ ταύτῃ τῇ φήμῃ.
Notes:
[1] Accusative plural of this adjective; similarly glossed in other lexica; evidently quoted from somewhere (perhaps Plato, Republic 383B). The quotation which follows has the genitive singular, and see also mu 74 with the dative singular.
[2] Sophocles, Oedipus Tyrannos 518-9 (web address 1) with scholion.
