Translation: Anagyrous is a deme of the [sc. Athenian] tribe Erechtheis, the demesman from which [is an] Anagyrasian.[1]
Also [sc. attested is the proverbial phrase] "Anagyrasian spirit".[2] And [there is] a shrine of Anagyros in the deme of the Anagyrasians. [The phrase] "Anagyrasian spirit" [arose] because a hero Anagyros[3] took vengeance on the elderly settler who cut down the grove. Anagyrasians [were] a deme of Attica. One of them cut down the grove of this [hero]. He[4] made [the man's] concubine fall madly in love with [the man's] son, and she, unable to persuade the son, denounced him to the father as licentious. He [the father] mutilated him [the son] and immured him in the house. Consequently[5] the father hanged himself, and the concubine threw herself into a well. Hieronymus tells the story in his [treatise]
On Tragic Poets,[6] comparing the
Phoenix [Author, Myth] of
Euripides to them.[7]

[4] Anagyros, evidently. (At
epsilon 78, where this mini-narrative is summarised, the father is the subject -- but the verb is different. The present version should be taken as the authentic one.)
[5] i.e. the consequences implied above, of the vengeance of the local "hero" Anagyros, to whom the grove was (as such groves often were) sacred.

Euripides' play is lost, but see
Apollodorus 3.13.8: P. was blinded by his father Amyntor after Phthia, Amyntor's concubine, falsely accused him of having seduced her. (He was later cured by Cheiron.)
