Greek display:    
Headword: Talingis
Adler number: tau,52
Translated headword: Talingis
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
"Talingis chose to pay no heed to weapons and warlike men but to exist in daily intimacy with prostitutes and babblers."

Talingis: ho de Talingis hoplôn men kai machimôn andrôn ekrinen alogein, pornais de kai athuroglôttois homodiaitos huparchein.
Note:
For this quotation see already alpha 1306. In both places Adler tentatively attributes it to Aelian, on no discernible basis. It is in fact unidentifiable -- as is the individual featured in it (Talingis in the Suda, Taliges in ps.-Zonaras).
Keywords: biography; ethics; gender and sexuality; historiography; history; military affairs; women
