ἀψεγές: schol. “θαρρῶ ὅτι τοῖς δρῶσι ταῦτα τὰ ἄδικα καὶ συνδρῶσιν αὐτοῖς οὐκ ἔσται ἄψεκτος ὁ ὄνειρος: παθόντες γὰρ ψέξουσι τὸ ὀφθέν”.—Bergk, whom Hartung follows, reads ἀψεφές, ‘unheeded,’ a word known only from Hesychius: “ἀψεφές, ἀφρόντιστον: Σοφοκλῆς Φαίδρᾳ”. (Hesych. has also “ψέφει: δέδοικεν...φροντίζει”.) πελᾶν, ‘Attic’ fut. inf. of “πελάζω”: cp. O. C. 1060“πελῶς᾿”: Aesch. P. V. 282“πελῶ”. (In Soph. Ph. 1150“πελᾶτ̓” should be “πηδᾶτ̓”.)—Others take “πελᾶν” as pres. inf. of “πελάω” (as in Hom. hymn. 7. 44 “πελάαν”: cp. n. on O.C., l.c.).
