Note 80 — BOOK VI. (continued 2)
Charles Duke Yonge translation
This a parody on two lines in the Antiope of Euripides:
Γνώμῃ γὰρ ἀνδρὸς εὖ μὲν οἰκοῦνται πόλεις, Εὖ δ’ οἶκος εἴς τ’ αὖ πόλεμον ἰσχύει μέγα.
Which may be translated:—
Wisdom it is which regulates both cities, And private citizens, and makes their lot Secure and happy; nor is her influence Of less account in war.
