An epigram attributed to Euenus
3 Stob. 2.15.4 Ζήνου (Εὐήνου Bach, Ζηνοδότου Gaisford)
“I believe that a share of wisdom not too small
Is knowing rightly what each person is like”
ἡγοῦμαι σοφίης εἶναι μέρος οὐκ ἐλάχιστον
ὀρθῶς γινώσκειν οἷος ἕκαστος ἀνήρ.
Not too small a measure of wisdom I believe
Is knowing exactly what kind of person each may be.
Come on, play along. Make a better couplet than this!
