        DGE translates "hablar de" o "describir en detalle"i.e. "talk about
something" or "examine it carefully". The lexical entry gives the text for
the Philodemean quote plus another passage from the same author:

        plei/[ou]s s[uggrafe/]as kai\ diistorh[ke/nai] Phld.*Rh.*2.150
        en v. pas.
        o( me\n ... diistorhme/nos u(f' h(mw=n Phld.*Cont.*4.4
