"[...] with the result that everyone acknowledged that, as the proverb says, 'there is an eye of justice', which mere mortals [must] never despise".
Greek original · Adler’s text
Δίκης ὀφθαλμός· ὡς καὶ πάντας ἀνθρώπους ὁμολογῆσαι, διότι κατὰ τὴν παροιμίαν ἔστι δίκης ὀφθαλμός, ἧς μηδέποτε καταφρονεῖν ἀνθρώπους ὑπάρχοντας.
