β329Βλέπειν γὰρ ἄντικρυς δόξεις μ' Ἄρη
for you will think that I look a downright Ares
[sc. A proverbial phrase] in reference to those promising to act with every strength and to muster themselves to aid. You will consider me, he is saying, an Ares to look at, successful and practical.
Βλέπειν γὰρ ἄντικρυς δόξεις μ' Ἄρη· ἐπὶ τῶν ὑπισχνουμένων παντὶ σθένει πράττειν καὶ συνάρασθαι πρὸς βοήθειαν. δόξεις με, φησίν, Ἄρεα ὁρᾶν κατορθωτικὸν καὶ πρακτικόν.
