Διαλλάττειν

"[... to reconcile] us with Lakonian men, in whom [there is] no more trustworthiness than in a wolf agape."¹ The proverb [is] in reference to those who pillage other people's property. For in the same way that there is no trustiness in wolves, [there is] none in these people either. As for 'agape', [it is] in reference to those who gape [in anticipation] in vain.²
