Adler number: epsiloniota,146
Translated headword: so if
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
"[So if] the fellow, who must be the object of many insults, had himself been obvious, I would not have made mention of a [man who is a] friend; but as it is, everybody knows Arignotos, the man who knows either white or the orthios nomos." From the saying 'if someone knows white or black'. But some say that Arignotos was a kithara-player, who sang the so-called orthios nomos and the white [one], the ones which were admired at that time. As to Ariphrades,[1] his licentiousness with women was unnatural.
