Translation
"[...] of what is customarily said in a proverb, but enforced by him in deed, 'live in seclusion': so that I would not expect any of the men living at that time, [of the younger] or of the older, to understand what I mean."
Greek original · Adler’s text
Λάθε βιώσας· τοῦ τε ἐν παροιμίᾳ λέγεσθαι εἰωθότος, ἔργῳ βεβαιωθέντος ὑπ' ἐκείνου, τοῦ λάθε βιώσας· ὥστε οὐδένα τῶν τότε ζώντων ἀνθρώπων οὔτε τῶν πρεσβυτέρων ἐλπίσαιμ' ἂν εἰδέναι οἷον λέγω.
