Meaning
Sleep has pleasant respite from labours at LXXXV.5. The genitive plural names the exertions or weariness relieved, linking his gift with the easing of care and grief in the next line. Compare κάματος in the breezes’ hymn: both concern restorative relief, though the forms and immediate agents differ.
