Headword: *(/elkei moixo\s ei)s moixo/n
Adler number: epsilon,880
Translated headword: a seducer drags into a seducer
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
A proverb.
Greek Original:
*(/elkei moixo\s ei)s moixo/n: paroimi/a.
Notes:
So the transmitted text, which would require a meaning something like the pot calling the kettle black. But cf. mu 1360 (and Zenobius 4.67), which leave little doubt that it should be "a seducer drags [sc. women] into a corner" (ei)s muxo/n; cf. generally mu 1359 for the need to avoid confusion between these two words).
See further Tosi [cited under alpha 378] no.364.
