Καρὸν γνῶθι σοφῶν τῶν ἑπτά τις, εἶπε, Φίλιππε
— Paton edition
πάντα γὰρ ἀκμάζοντ᾽ ἐστὶν ἐραστότερα:
καὶ σίκυος πρῶτός που; ἐπ᾽ ἀνδήροισιν ὁραθεὶς
τίμιος, εἶτα συῶν βρῶμα πεπαινόμενος.
“ Know the time ” said one of the seven sages ; for all things, Philippus, are more loveable when in their prime. A cucumber, too, is a fruit we honour at first when we see it in its garden bed, but after, when it ripens, it is food for swine.
— Paton edition
« Sache le bon moment » a dit l’un des Sept Sages, ô Philippe. Dans sa fleur tout être au plus charmant. Le concombre apparu en premier au jardin a du prix ; on le donne aux porcs quand il est mûr.
