Translation: "[For why does this grieve me], when having died in report I am saved in fact and bring out glory for myself? I think that no saying [that comes] with profit [is] bad. For already I have often seen even wise men dying vainly in report, but not in fact."[1]
Aristophanes [writes]: "for what has escaped you, [of] what should [befit] a wise man? How are you not prudent, [in] whatever is needful for one who is approved for a clever mind, for resourceful boldness?" That is, what has escaped you? For what do you not do, which is right for the knowledgeable persons? But
pori/mw| ["resourceful"] [is used] meaning well-resourced for contriving [things].
