Translation: A proverb in reference to nonentities, who are thought worthy of honour through some accident. Of a similar kind is the one which says 'for in a hopeless situation even Karkinos got his share of honour'.[1] [So the present one means] at a time of sedition even the complete scoundrel got his share of honour. 'For amongst the unmusical even a lark sings'.[2]
