[Used] with a genitive.[1] "I despise you in your boldness." Also[2] [sc. attested is] a)ne/xomen ["we support"], meaning we exalt.
Aristophanes [writes]: "whenever we support the holy rites at times sacred to the two goddesses." Whenever we hold the mysteries, he is saying, of the goddesses, Demeter and Persephone, whenever we exalt the ceremonies; for we worship them [i.e. the goddesses] with songs. This is [what] we support [means].[3]
The [verb] a)ne/xomai means I despise [when it is used] with a genitive; but I tolerate with an accusative.[4] "For I do not tolerate the sun on my bare head."[5] But a)ne/xomai [when it means I despise is] always with a genitive. "I despise you in your boldness".[6] And the physician "tolerates bad smells".[7] "Unless it is somehow obvious, [he] would not tolerate the story as [being] false."[8]
