And in the Epigrams: "the long time wears down even stone, nor does it spare the iron, but destroys everything with one reaping-hook."[3]
Greek Original:*yh/xein: katama/ssein, tri/bein, cu/ein. oi( de\ *maurou/sioi parauti/ka tou\s i(/ppous e)/yhxon: oi( de\ lo/gxas, oi( de\ ci/fh h)ko/nwn. kai\ e)n *)epigra/mmasi: yh/xei kai\ pe/trhn o( polu\s xro/nos, ou)de\ sidh/rou fei/detai, a)lla\ mih=| pa/nt' o)le/kei drepa/nh|.
Notes:
[1] cf. generally
yh/ktra ("curry-comb") at
psi 66. The present headword is similarly glossed in other lexica, so evidently quoted from somewhere (perhaps
Xenophon,
Hipparchicus 1.16).
[2] Quoted in part already at
epsilon 4062, it seems: see the note there.
