Adler number: alpha,518

In reference to parsimonious and mean-spirited men.

Adôn tên spithamên tou biou pros anêthon: epi tôn glischrôn kai mikropsuchôn.
Note:
The phrase 'span of life' appears as, seemingly, proverbial in its own right in some of the paroemiographers (with a gloss like the one at sigma 942), but as a whole this proverb-like headword has no parallel.
