"He is a drunkard who takes more than three glasses though he be not drunk."
I was searching for the citation of an Epictetus quote last night, and I noticed that Perseus' Greek Text is shorter than its corresponding English translation. Does anyone know what the actual source of this quote is? Or, better yet, does someone know where to access the Greek text that is missing?
Spurious Epictetus Quote?
Discussion of Greek texts that do not fall into the other categories, including texts in other dialects or texts from other periods.
