Be quick to get out of Athens (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hasten

'be quick' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'out of athens' is the wordplay.
'out of' indicates anagramming the letters.
'athens' anagrammed gives 'HASTEN'.

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hasten that I've seen before include "race? - with 26a" , "Be quick to do something" , "Make faster" , "Hurry up in old-fashioned way" , "Hurry along" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
