Vetting Status: low
Translation:
[Used] allegorically in Sophocles,[1] [meaning] assistance, from ἔχεσθαι ["to be held"]. "Nor to [the] mind [is] a lance of thought." [It is] as if [he said], "The mind does not have a lance of thought," that is a work of counsel and foresight.[2]
Greek Original:
Ἔγχος: ἀλληγορικῶς παρὰ Σοφοκλεῖ ἡ βοήθεια, παρὰ τὸ ἔχεσθαι. οὐδὲ νῷ φροντίδος ἔγχος. οἷον οὐκ ἔστι τῷ νῷ φροντίδος ἔγχος, τουτέστι βουλῆς καὶ προμηθείας ἔργον.
Notes:
