Greek original · Adler’s text
Πότμον· μόρον, θάνατον. καὶ Εὔποτμος, ὁ καλῶς τὸν βίον καταστρέφων. ὃς οἰκτρῶς καὶ ἐλεεινῶς ἐς γῆρας ἦλθεν οὐδαμῆ εὔποτμον.

Notes (2)
- 1Same headword (accusative case) and glosses in other lexica, and cf. the scholia to Homer, Iliad 2.359, where it occurs. For this word see also under epsilon 861, mu 1169. ↩
- 2Quotation unidentifiable. (Adler boldly asserts 'Aelian', on no discernible basis.) On the remark itself, note the opposite at kappa 1069. ↩
