Note 219 — Chapter V
Reading edition
Laws, 728 C. The reference is to Hesiod: Works and Days, 265, 266, though Plutarch quotes verse 265 in a form different from the vulgate. Goettling (Ap. Paley) thinks Plutarch’s version “savours more of antiquity.” Aristotle: Rhetoric, iii. 9, quotes the vulgate.
