Hipponax Fragment 121, (Erotian, Lexicon on Hippocrates)

 

“I am ambidextrous so I don’t miss when I punch”

 

ἀμφιδέξιος γάρ εἰμι κοὐκ ἁμαρτάνω κόπτων.

 

Hipponax–invective poet from Ephesus.

Erotian? That one stumped me too: a grammarian who penned a Hippocratic Lexicon. Popular guy (absent from wikipedia, hit up the OCD).
