Adler number: chi,284
Translated headword: to swear by a goose
Vetting Status: high
Translation: So as not to name the gods in all circumstances Rhadamanthys ordered [people] to swear by a goose and a ram; not, as some [say], Socrates.
Greek Original:*xh=na o)mnu/nai: u(pe\r tou= mh\ tou\s qeou\s e)pi\ pa=sin o)noma/zein *(rada/manqus e)ke/leuse kata\ xhno\s kai\ kriou= o)mnu/nai: ou)x w(/s tines *swkra/ths.
Note:
cf.
rho 13, on oaths of this kind. Socrates' use of them is asserted both there and under
sigma 829; perhaps the point here is that Socrates was not the first to recommend such oaths.
