Greek Original:*)anapolei=: a)naptu/ssei. kai\ paroimi/a: a)\n a)polh=|s tou\s w)/mous u(/dwr pti/sswn, o(moi/ws u(/dwr me/nei: e)pi\ tw=n a)nh/nuta ponou/ntwn. kai\ *)anapo/lhsis qhluko/n.
Notes:
[1] For this headword see already
alpha 2030. Here again must be quoted from somewhere.
[2] If Adler's choice amongst the mss variants is correct, this proverb (again at
upsilon 55) does not contain the headword verb but, instead, the two-word phrase
a)\n a)polh=|s "if you destroy". See however the version in Lucian,
Hermotimus 79, which has
a)poba/lh| (and Attic
pti/ttwn).
