παραστῆσαι. ὁ πριάμενος τὸν ἐπικρινόμενον εὐνοῦχος εἶναι λέγεται· ¹ δεόντως· ὁ γὰρ ὠνούμενος τὸν πολιτικὸν ὄχλος ἐστὶ πρὸς ἀλήθειαν εὐνοῦχος, ὅσα μὲν τῷ δοκεῖν ἔχων τὰ γεννητικά, τὰς δ’ εἰς τὸ γεννᾶν δυνάμεις ἀφῃρημένος, καθάπερ καὶ οἱ τὰς ὄψεις ὑποχυθέντες ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντες τῆς δι’ ὀφθαλμῶν ἐνεργείας στέρονται βλέπειν οὐ δυνάμενοι.

Translations (1)

On the Life of a Man occupied with Affairs of State, or on Joseph First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 2. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 58 focus
