[Milk] disperses the conspiracies of hostile people. Milk is a fosterer of mild manners.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Γάλα σκεδάζει δυσμενῶν συμβουλίας. Γάλα γαληνῶν πρόξενον πέλει τρόπων.
Betacode
*ga/la skeda/zei dusmenw=n sumbouli/as. *ga/la galhnw=n pro/cenon pe/lei tro/pwn.
Notes
- A dream interpretation (or perhaps two separate interpretations) in the form of proverb-like sentiments cast in iambic verse, the latter playing upon on the similarity of the words for milk,
ga/la , and mild,galhnw=n . The 'disperses' version (cf. sigma 553) comes from Nicephorus I, Dream Book gamma19; the 'fosterer' version is like gamma18 there.
