ἀπέχθομαι
ὃν οὐ τύπτει λόγος οὐδὲ ῥάβδος → if words don't get through, neither a beating will | if the carrot doesn't work, the stick will not work either | whom words do not strike, neither does the rod
English (LSJ)
later form of ἀπεχθάνομαι, Theoc.7.45, Lyc.116, AP5.176 (Mel.), Plu. Marc.22, etc.; for in E.Hipp.1260 ἐπάχθομαι is the better reading; and the inf. ἀπέχθεσθαι freq. found in codd. should be written ἀπεχθέσθαι, cf. ἀπεχθάνομαι.
German (Pape)
[Seite 289] s. ἀπεχθάνομαι.
Greek (Liddell-Scott)
ἀπέχθομαι: μεταγεν. τύπος τοῦ ἀπεχθάνομαι κατὰ πρῶτον ἀπαντῶν ἐν Θεοκρ. 7. 45, Λυκ. 11, Ἀνθ. Π. 5. 177, Πλουτ. Μάρκελλ. 22, κτλ.: καθότι τὸ ἐν Εὐρ. Ἱππ. 1260 διωρθώθη ἤδη εἰς ἐπάχθομαι, καὶ τὸ ἀπαρέμ. ἀπέχθεσθαι (Ἰλ. Φ. 83, Εὐρ. Μήδ. 290, Θουκ. 1. 136, κτλ.) νῦν γράφεται ἀπεχθέσθαι, ὅπερ εἶναι ἀπαρέμ. τοῦ ἀπηχθόμην, ἀόρ. τοῦ ἀπεχθάνομαι, ἴδε Ἐλμσλ. Εὐρ. Μήδ. ἔνθ’ ἀνωτ.
