Translation
"[... a man] in no position to state the name of his grandfather, nor even of his father except as a guess, having jumped from a look-out for tunny-fish to the leading vehicle."
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἄνθρωπος οὐκ ἔχων εἰπεῖν ὄνομα πάππου, ἀλλ' οὐδὲ πατρὸς πλὴν ὅσον εἰκάσαι, ἀπὸ θυννοσκοπείου ἐπὶ τὴν ἡγεμονικὴν ἀπήνην ἁλάμενος.
