Je fais suivre, ami Étranger, votre demande chez
<schtroumpf.robin> où quelqu'un se fera du plaisir
à vous répondre ; moi ? pas. Déjà qu'en anglais,
je comprends rien à ce que vous dites, alors en
grec... si ! : « ayé ! ».

L'ami Étranger avait positionné le suivi à l'adresse
suivante <jcanino20***mac.com> ; moi, pour le bénifice
des /the future generations/, je mets les deux forumiz
et prie les postopinants de doubler par message
personnel, en raison de l'ancienneté de la demande.

No, you cannot use ἀναβλέπω, this word doesn't mean "look up to".
Why not simply use "τιμῶ":
Ὰεί σε τιμήσω ('AeÃ*** se timésw).

Plato, letter to Diomysios,
τιμώμενος γὰ� [312c] ὑπὸ σοῦ τιμήσω σέ
for if honoured by you, I will honour you
Herodotus I,134,2
τιμῶσι δὲ �κ πάντων τοὺς ἄγχιστα ἑωυτῶν οἰκέοντας μετά γε
ἑωυτούς
they honour of all most after themselves those nations which
dwell nearest to them

August de Man
