"You are wretched to reproach me for these things, which no one will not quick reproach you for."¹ That is, there is no one who will not reproach you for the things for which you reproached me. 'Quick' meaning quickly. And not much later they will call you blind. The address [is] to Teiresias.²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ὀνειδίζω. σὺ δ' ἄθλιός γε ταῦτ' ὀνειδίζων, ἅ σοι οὐδεὶς οὐχὶ τῶνδ' ὀνειδιεῖ τάχα. οἷον οὐδείς ἐστιν ὃς οὐ ταῦτά σοι ὀνειδισεῖ, ἅπερ μοι ὠνείδισας. τὸ δὲ τάχα ἀντὶ τοῦ ταχέως. καί σε μετ' ὀλίγον ἐροῦσι τυφλόν. πρὸς Τειρεσίαν ὁ λόγος.
