3.20 Jaws of a donkey: for a glutton. 3.21 Where stags shed their antlers: the places are difficult to access. Of those who make their pastimes hard to find. 3.22a For some are no more, and those who are, are bad. At home the Milesian things; for not here: of those displaying their customs, or their slandered practices, where it is not fitting. For a Milesian, speaking publicly among the Lacedaemonians and praising the luxury at home, heard this. 3.23 Wine, O children, is truth. 3.24 A donkey to chaff. 3.25 It is neither rained on nor shined on by the sun: of the senseless. 3.26 You would not be praised even at a funeral banquet: of the most worthless and of no account; for it is customary at the banquets for the dead to praise them, even if they happened to be most worthless. 3.27 The witness from home: of those bearing witness against themselves. 3.28 A donkey among bees: of those who have fallen into troubles. 3.29 A donkey listening to a lyre: of the unintelligent. 3.30 Someone told a donkey a story, and it just wiggled its ears. 3.31 From much chaff I brought up little fruit. 3.32 You are conversing with a deaf person. 3.33 He weeps at the tomb of his stepmother: of those who pretend. 3.34 An oak is overcome by many blows: of those hard to capture. 3.35 Before catching the fish, you are stirring the brine: of those who anticipate the proper times. 3.36 Many are the beds of a male dog: of those prone to the works of Aphrodite. 3.37 Often a foolish man has said something opportune. 3.38 There is many a slip between the cup and the lip. 3.39 You are washing a brick: of impossible things. 3.40 A poor man's pouch is not filled: of the insatiable. 3.41 The cunning of a hydra: of the deceitful. 3.42 Many will hate you, if you love yourself. 3.43 Fire having come upon a firebrand. 3.44 The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing. 3.45 Many are the thyrsus-bearers, but few are the Bacchants. 3.46 To kick against the pricks. 3.47 Wickedness needs only a pretext. 3.48 You sing an encomium before the victory. 3.49 Bards tell many lies. 3.50 A river contends with the sea: of impossible things. 3.51 I have heard the rustling of many fig-leaves. 3.52 Sleep comes upon a hungry fox. 3.53 Poverty has wisdom for its lot. 3.54 I will move every stone. 3.55 Every rope. 3.56 Gazelles join battle against a lion. 3.57 The Rhodians the sacrifice: of those who blaspheme in sacred places. 3.58 More talkative than the surf: of chatterers; for when dashed by the waves, it produces a noise. 3.59 The judgment of Rhadamanthus: the most just. 3.60 Having passed a rose, do not seek it again. 3.61 Even a fool knows a thing once it is done. 3.62 More cowardly than the Rhegians. 3.63 With Athena, also move your hand. 3.64 A francolin came on the new moon. 3.65 Time is the counselor of affairs. 3.66 Pardon for a first attempt: of those who err in their first attempts. 3.67 Sardonic laughter: that which is feigned and not from a rejoicing heart. 3.68 A Sicilian table, and, a Sybaritic one. 3.69 Wisdom of a fool: of those who speak unintelligibly. 3.70 Seeing you, one might take you for an omen: and this, But the youth both hated and took him for an omen. 3.71 Themistocles never thought of such a thing: for he carried away the reputation for wisdom. 3.72 More intricate than Typhon. 3.73 The talents of Tantalus: of the exceedingly rich. 3.74 You have added the Colophon: of great matters; and of a decisive vote. 3.75 What is in the heart of the sober is on the tongue of the drunkard. 3.76 Fleeing the smoke, he fell into the fire. 3.77 The pig paid for the dog's mischief: of some sinning, but others paying the penalty. 3.78 To scratch back the one who scratches: from the metaphor of donkeys; for they scratch each other in return. Of those helping or harming each other in return. 3.79 More silent than the son of Croesus. 3.80 Why have you not hanged yourself, so that you might become a hero in Thebes: for those who did away with themselves in Thebes were honored. 3.81 The little wall of Hipparchus: Hipparchus, the son of Peisistratus, built a wall near the Pythian temple, forcing the Athenians into many expenditures. 3.82 You seem to me to have your brain scrambled. 3.83 The thought is from the god, but the theft is mine: for thus the demagogues would say in jest; the god suggested it, but I am the one who carried it out. 3.84 He is in need of celery: of those who are gravely ill. for it is customary to crown with celery
