μὴ σπεύσῃς Μενέδημον ἑλεῖν δόλῳ, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπίνευσον
— Paton edition
ὀφρύσι, καὶ φανερῶς αὐτὸς ἐρεῖ: πρόαγε.
οὐ γὰρ ἀνάβλησις: φθάνει δέ τε καὶ τὸν ἄγοντα:
οὐδ᾽ ἀμάρης, ποταμοῦ δ᾽ ἐστὶν ἑτοιμότερος.
Study not to capture Menedemus by craft, but sign to him with your eyebrows and he will say openly, “Go on, I follow.” For there is no delay, and he even “outrunneth him who guides him” and is more expeditious not than a water channel but than a river.
— Paton edition
Ne te fatigue pas à ruser pour avoir Ménédème : un signe des sourcils, et lui, publiquement, te dit : « Montre la route ! » Car ça ne traîne pas, il passe même devant qui le conduit, plus largement offert non pas qu’une rigole d’irrigation, mais que le fleuve même !
— R. Aubreton
