Translation:
[Meaning he/she/it] received [someone] as a guest.[1] Also meaning [he/she/it] killed. Elektra says: "Ares," she says, "did not entertain him."[2] That is, did not kill [him]; for the 'entertainment of Ares' [is] wounds and massacres. And Archilochos [writes]: "bestowing grievous entertainments on enemies."[3] These are things that Orestes' sister dirges.[4]

Notes:
[1] cf. epsilon 1700.
[2] Sophokles, Elektra 96 (web address 1), with comments (including the subsequent quotation of Archilochus) from the scholia thereto; cf. xi 26.
[3] Archilochus fr. 6 West (7 Bergk).
[4] This last sentence, which does not refer to the Archilochus quotation, seems to be derived from the scholia to Elektra 94.
