δ209Δελφὸς ἀνὴρ στέφανον μὲν ἔχει δίψει δὲ ἀπόλλυται
a Delphian man has a crown but dies of thirst.
[sc. The proverb arises] since these men wear wreaths because they serve as priests for the god, but, lacking the necessities of life, they do not manage.
Δελφὸς ἀνὴρ στέφανον μὲν ἔχει, δίψει δὲ ἀπόλλυται· ἐπεὶ οὗτοι διὰ τὸ ἱερᾶσθαι τῷ θεῷ ἐστεφανωμένοι, τῶν δὲ ἐπιτηδείων ἀποροῦντες οὐκ ἀπαλλάσσουσιν.
