Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] memory.[1]
"But have recollection of me also. Memory must be attached to a man, if, I suppose, he should experience something delightful [...] but if the remembrance of anyone who has received benefits falls away, in no way would this man be noble".[2]
And elsewhere: "a mother, disowning the remembrance of her birth pangs, killed her son who had left the battle after the destiny [= death] of companions".[3]

Notes:
[1] From the scholia to Homer, Odyssey 13.280, where the headword occurs.
[2] Tecmessa to Ajax at Sophocles, Ajax 520-1, 523-4 (web address 1). The quotation omits line 522: xa/ris xa/rin ga/r e)stin h( ti/kous' a)ei/ "goodwill is the parent of goodwill always." Note that the headword appears in 520 (and 523) and the lemma's gloss in 521.
[3] Greek Anthology 9.447.1-2 (Julianus of Egypt), on a Spartan mother's justice. For 'destiny' see pi 2136.
