What the Greek REALLY Says

ἀλλὰ χρόνῳ ζητέοντες ἐφευρίσκουσιν ἄμεινον. (Xenophanes, Fragment 16)

I've only ever met one person with 3 PhDs. This blogger is talking about people with 11!!!!

Frankly, after this many years, I am less sure what individual words "really mean", I have a less and less sure idea how the verbs function and have almost no idea about word-order.

Statements like this blogger is making inspire me to study calligraphy in the hope that it will aid my überstanding of the text.
