Greek Original:*)argei/ous o(ra=|s: paroimi/a e)pi\ tw=n a)tenw=s kai\ kataplhktikw=s o(rw/ntwn.
Note:
Also in some of the later paroemiographers. In
Appendix Proverbiorum 3.35 and
Macarius 2.38 the Suda's explanation appears alongside another one, about suspicions of theft (said to be a charge comically levelled at Argives -- cf.
alpha 3771). Additionally, the
App.Prov. quotes
Sophocles fr.201h (from the
Eriphyle), where the phrase seems to originate.
