Greek Original:
Ἑκάστοτε: ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀεί. οὐ γὰρ λέγεται πάντοτε. Βάβριος: τῶν οὖν τριχῶν ἑκάστοθ' ἡ μὲν ἀκμαία ἔτιλλεν, ἃς εὕρισκε λευκανθιζούσας. καὶ αὖθις: τοὺς μὲν φιλεῖν βουλομένους δεδοίκατε, τοὺς δ' οὐκ ἐθέλοντας ἀντιβολεῖσθ' ἑκάστοτε. ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀεί.
Notes:
[1] Pantote occurs from the 4th c. BC on, but was condemned by the Atticists (see LSJ entry at web address 1).
[2] Babrius 22.8-9; one lady is plucking the man's white hairs, the other his black ones, with predictable consequences.
[3] Aristophanes Ecclesiazousae 181-2 (link 2 below); more fully at delta 1596.
