Monostichoi

[edit]
  • Ἢ λέγε τι σιγῆς κρεῖττον ἢ σιγὴν ἔχε
    • Either be silent or speak something better than silence
      • Monostichoi, 208 [2]
  • Ζῶμεν ἀλογίστως προσδοκοῦντες μὴ θανεῖν
    • Carelessly we live, thinking death will never come.
      • Monostihcoi, 200 [3]
  • Βέλτιον γὰρ ὀψιμαθῆ καλεῖσθαι, ἤ ἀμαθῆ.
    • It is better to be called late-learned than unlearned
      • From Monostichoi?

I am unsure if the Monositchoi are reliably attributable to Menander. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 16:23, 9 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
