ε425

Ἐκκείμεθα

we lie exposed

"Only to you among the living do we lie exposed." "For the truth is not some matter lying exposed, nor discarded, nor capable of being captured by hunting." ['Lying exposed'] instead of despised.

Ἐκκείμεθα· μόνῳ σοι τῶν ζώντων ἐκκείμεθα. οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἡ ἀλήθεια πρᾶγμα ἐκκείμενον οὐδὲ καταβεβλημένον οὐδὲ θήρᾳ ληπτέον. ἀντὶ τοῦ καταπεφρονημένον.
