Greek original · Adler’s text
Οὐδ' ἀπὸ γῆς ὤνυσεν· ἐπὶ τοῦ ἐλαχίστου.
Betacode
*ou)d' a)po\ gh=s w)/nusen: e)pi\ tou= e)laxi/stou.
Notes
- The headword is a proverbial phrase textually corrupted, here and in Apostolius 13.14, into something untranslatable:
ou)d' a)po\ gh=s w)/nusen . See rather Photius, Lexicon omicron605 Theodoridis, whose version from Pausanias the Atticist --ou)d' a)po\ gei/swn u(/sen -- is translated here.
