ἀπέχεσθαι
From LSJ
ὦ θάνατε παιάν, μή μ᾽ ἀτιμάσῃς μολεῖν· μόνος γὰρ εἶ σὺ τῶν ἀνηκέστων κακῶν ἰατρός, ἄλγος δ᾽ οὐδὲν ἅπτεται νεκροῦ. → O death, the healer, reject me not, but come! For thou alone art the mediciner of ills incurable, and no pain layeth hold on the dead.
Greek > English (Woodhouse Verbs Reversed)
(see also ἀπέχω): spare, abstain from, desist from, keep from, refrain from, stay one's hand
