"The business concerning our companion was handled moderately, and not so as to incite the nemesis of god and of men. She [Nemesis] in fact is clearly the one about whom we sing to a lyre [the following verses ...]."1

Greek original · Adler’s text

Πρὸς λύραν ᾄδειν. τὰ κατὰ τὸν ἑταῖρον ἡμῶν μετρίως ἐπράχθη, καὶ οὐχ ὡς ἂν κινῆσαι θεοῦ τε καὶ ἀνθρώπων νέμεσιν. αὕτη μέντοι σαφῶς ἐστι, περὶ ἧς πρὸς λύραν ᾄδομεν.

Notes (1)

  1. The headword phrase is presumably generated by the one in the quotation given.
  2. 1A close approximation of Synesius, Epistle 95 p.235a (quoted at nu 163). For Nemesis see also nu 159, nu 162. ↩
