Translation: A proverb concerning those who take care of their own things but neglect those of others; for instance, those who have a wagon of their own, but rent donkeys, and neglect them.
Greek Original:Aponemou tês hamaxês, tôn de onôn ouden melei: paroimia epi tôn ta oikeia têmelountôn, tôn de allotriôn amelountôn: paroson hoi idian echontes hamaxan, onous de misthoumenoi, amelousin autôn.
Note:
Not in the paroemiographers in this full form, but cf.
tau 863, where the second part reappears (in a personalised form); thus in
Apostolius 17.43.
