[Meaning] honor.[1]
And [there is] a proverb: "shame is not good for a man who is a beggar in need." In reference to those whose pleasantness harms them. Homer [says this].[2]
Hesiod [writes]: "shame accompanies a man in need".[3]
And [there is] another proverb: "shame [is] in the eyes".[4] Since those who have been mistreated do not feel shame in their eyes. Or because when they see those who are present people feel more shame than when they are absent.
The accusative [is] ai)dw=.[5]
