toil; weariness

Meaning

The sweet-blowing breezes possess relief from weariness at LXXXI.2. The genitive names what their respite alleviates. The apparatus reports θανάτου, death, instead; that alternative is consequential, but the adopted verse promises practical relief from toil rather than escape from death.
