For the Ionians were slandered for this. 1.76 Know thyself: of those who boast beyond their power. 1.77 More naked than a snakeskin: a leberis is the skin of a snake or of an embryo. 1.78 You assign a guard to a naked man: of those not able to fulfill what has been commanded. 1.79 I grow old ever learning many things: of those more experienced on account of old age. 1.80 The ox grows old, but the tasks for the ox are many. 1.81 With a bare head: of those who shamelessly proceed to whatever happens. 1.82 Naked as from the womb: of the destitute. 1.83 A woman's wits: of the foolish. 1.84 Tongue, where are you going, having set a city right and again overthrowing it: of those who either harm or help through words. 1.85 An owl flies: the flight of the owl was considered a symbol of victory for the Athenians. 1.86 Sweet elbow: of those who speak ironically. There is a place in the Memphite nome called Ankon (Elbow) by the sailors, perhaps by antiphrasis, because of its difficulty. But some apply it to those who are cheerful, inasmuch as those who are merry rest on their elbow. ∆. 1.87t Justice begat justice and harm, harm: of the litigious and those who link lawsuits to lawsuits.

Ε. 1.97t You run away on a threshing-floor: that is, you hide. of those not able to escape notice. 1.98 The trap has caught the mouse: of those who are deservedly caught. 1.99 Drawing a cloud to himself like the Caecias wind, 1.100 Then being rich he no longer enjoys lentils, but before, because of poverty, he ate everything. 2.1 In summer you wear out your cloak: of those who do not use necessities at the proper time. 2.2 It has come to the ears of a god: of great matters. 2.3 One man, no man. 2.4 Counsel in the night: since the night gives freedom to take counsel. 2.5 The wolf into the snares: of those who seize, but are seized. 2.6 You have reveled against bees: of those who are harmed all at once. 2.7 On the knees of five judges: for in the old days five judges judged the comic poets; or because they held on their knees what is now written in tablets. 2.8 From the mouth of a wolf: of those who unexpectedly receive something from someone. 2.9 It differs in nothing from an elephant: of the senseless. 2.10 You are going to Troezen: of those who have a lack of beards. 2.11 A man of a deer: the coward. 2.12 More changeable than a cothurnus: the cothurnus is a type of footwear, fitting both feet. 2.13 Where the wind allows one neither to remain nor to sail: of those who have fallen into difficulties. 2.14 To be poor on land rather than sail being rich. 2.15 The gifts of enemies are no-gifts and not beneficial: of unprofitable gifts. 2.16 You run away on a threshing-floor: that is, you hide on a threshing-floor. of those who are not able to escape notice. 2.17 For I am now going to the very colophon of the speech: of things great and irrefutable and having great force.
