Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἄρκος φιλεῖν ἄνθρωπον ἐκτόπως ηὔχει. εἶθ' ὕστερον ἐρασθεῖσα αὐτοῦ ἐν παραβύστῳ. ἀντὶ τοῦ ἐν ἀποκρύφῳ, ἐν μυστηρίῳ.

Notes

  1. cf. epsilon 671 (and epsilon 1422 for the gloss).
    The spelling a)/rkos, already at alpha 3954, is a later variant of a)/rktos (alpha 3961): LSJ entry at web address 1.
    Note the paragraphing above: the lemma-phrase (from Babrius 14.1) and the first part of the gloss (from Procopius, Secret History 1.17) do not belong together; they have been copied as a unit from epsilon 671.
