δ352Δεινοὶ πλέκειν τοι μηχανὰς Αἰγύπτιοι
Egyptians (are) clever at crafting machines
[sc. A proverbial phrase] in reference to those who are exceedingly knavish; for the Egyptians [were] such people. And Homer [writes]: "a terrible gale." Such as, famous Hippodameia.
Δεινοὶ πλέκειν τοι μηχανὰς Αἰγύπτιοι· ἐπὶ τῶν σφόδρα κακουργοτάτων· τοιοῦτοι γὰρ οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι. καὶ Ὅμηρος· δεινὸς ἀήτης. ὡς, κλυτὸς Ἱπποδάμεια.
