Adler number: epsiloniota,324

It is said in reference to men with poor and sparse beards. For Pogon[1] is a harbour [sc. giving access] into Troezen.
Greek Original:
*ei)s *troizh=na dei= badi/zein: e)pi\ tw=n kakogenei/wn kai\ spanopwgw/nwn ei)/rhtai. *pw/gwn ga/r e)sti limh\n ei)s *troizh=na.
Note:
[1] cf. pogon, 'beard' (pi 2150). For Pogon (between Troezen and Calauria island) see Herodotus 8.42.1 (web address 1). The proverb -- also in theta 462 -- had another version with sailing rather than walking, and (more substantively) could relate to beards which were downright false: see LSJ s.v. pw/gwn (web address 2), citing Eustathius 287.14.
