114Gk. ἀπηλγηϰóτες, perfect participle of ἀπαλγέω, which means, in classical usage, “put away sorrow” but also “be despondent” (cf. the variant ἀπηλπɩϰóτες here, mentioned in n. 100 above). For the present force of the word cf. ἀπάλγησɩς, “ceasing to feel pain,” in Heliodorus Eroticus 6.5 (3rd cent. A.D.).
