Note 75 — THE WORKS AND DAYS.
George Chapman translation
As in laughter.] Και τε κασιγνητω γελασας επι μαρτυρα θεσθαι. The interpreters say,
Etiam cum fratre ludens, testem adhibeto.
But I should place the comma after fratre, and join ludens with testem adhibeto. “Even in a compact with your brother, have a witness: you may do it laughingly, or as if in jest.”
