σχὲς οὗπερ εἶ, “"stop where thou art,"” i.e. “"say no more"”—do not go on to urge that I should receive this visitor. Cp. Eur. I. A. 1467 “σχές, μή με προλίπῃς”: Hipp. 1354 “σχές, ἀπειρηκὸς σῶμ᾽ ἀναπαύσω”. This correction (Heath's) of the MS. ἴσχες is much better than Doederlein's ἴσχε σ᾽. While the intrans. “ἔχε” is common as “"hold!"” (Plat. Prot. 349E etc.), we never find “ἔχε σε” in that sense. τίδ᾽ ἔστι σοι; “"what is the matter with thee?"” Cp. 311.
