I have one final fragment, this one from Sophocles, Fragment 698:

αλλ’ εσθ’ o θανατος λοισθος ιατρος νοσων.

Can anyone help me translate this quotation about death?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer.

Hi there.

I don't know if this phrase has already been translated and I don't have any free time to look it up but a rough translation could be:

But death is the ultimate healer/doctor of illnesses/diseases/miseries.

I hope this can help.

Enjoy your weekend!
