*ai)sxu/nh po/lews poli/tou a(marti/a.
Adler draws attention to
Aeschines 3.241, where
Demosthenes is described as 'a fellow who is a disgrace of the city'. The present four-word lemma as a whole appears as proverbial in the C15 paroemiographer Michael
Apostolius (1.70); note also the
scholia to
Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus 929: the phrase
su\ d' a)ci/an ou)k ou)=san ai)sxu/neis po/lin there prompts the comment
ai)sxu/nh de\ patri/dos poli/tou a(marti/a; and see generally Tosi [cited under
alpha 378] no.258.
For disgrace cf. generally
alphaiota 358,
alphaiota 360,
alphaiota 361,
alphaiota 362.
