Translation

[Meaning] straightway, immediately.1 "But if avenging justice did not punish you in a moment, it will be twice as much returning again with more."2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Παρπόδα· εὐθύς, παραυτίκα. εἰ δέ σε δίκη παρπόδα μὴ τιμωρὸς ἐτίσατο, δὶς τόσον αὖθις ἔσσεται ἐν πλεόνεσσι παλίντροπος.

Notes (2)

  1. 1The headword -- from para\ po/da: see pi 417 and LSJ s.v. pou/s I.A.4.b -- is presumably extracted from the quotation. ↩
  2. 2Callimachus, Hecale fr. 358 (where the headword is printed as a two-word phrase, pa\r po/da); cf. Crusius' edition of Babrius pr. 219. Adler praises Küster's emendation of se di/kh to di/kh se (which improves the meter). ↩
