O izvirniku

Besedilo
Čarovnica
A sorceress who promised to avert the wrath of the gods with her spells did a thriving trade and earned a handsome living from it. Some people brought charges against her for introducing unlawful religious practices and took her to court, where they secured her conviction and a sentence of death. Someone who saw her coming out of the court said to her, “You who promised to turn aside the anger of the gods—how is it that you could not even persuade mortal men?” This tale may be applied to a deceitful woman who promises great things but proves incapable of even modest ones.

Γυνὴ μάγος ἐπῳδὰς θείων μηνιμάτων ἐπαγγελλομένη διετέλει πολλὰ ποιοῦσα, κἀκ τούτου οὐ μικρὸν βίον πορίζουσα. Ἐπὶ τούτῳ γραψάμενοί τινες αὐτὴν ὡς καινοτομοῦσαν περὶ τὰ θεῖα εἰς δίκην ὑπήγαγον, καὶ κατηγορήσαντες κατεδίκασαν αὐτὴν ἐπὶ θανάτῳ. Θεασάμενος δέ τις αὐτὴν ἐκ τῶν δικαστηρίων, ἔφη αὐτῇ· ,,ἡ τὰς δαιμόνων ὀργὰς τρέπειν ἐπαγγελλομένη πῶς οὐδὲ ἀνθρώπους πεῖσαι ἠδυνήθης;“
Τούτῳ τῷ λόγῳ χρήσαιτο ἄν τις πρὸς γυναῖκα πλάνον, ἥτις τὰ μείζονα κατεπαγγελλομένη τοῖς μετρίοις ἀδύνατος ἀπελέγχεται.
