Meaning

At L.6 the adjective agrees with ἄκος, the remedy in which Lysios appears to mortals. Relief from toil belongs to the remedy-image rather than being a free-standing name in the printed construction. The apparatus reports masculine παυσίπονος, which would attach the description directly to the god instead.
