Greek Original:Κακὸς κακῶς ἀπόλοιτο οὗτος, εἰ μὴ καὶ προαπόλωλε τῆς ἀρᾶς, ὡς ἄξιός γε ἦν ἔργον γεγονέναι τοῦ πρώην χειμῶνος. ἐνετολμήσατο γὰρ ὁ παλαμναῖος κακὸν κακῷ μείζονι σβέσαι.
Notes:
The headword phrase is the beginning of the quotation continued in the body of the entry. The Greek of the headword provides an example of polyptoton: the first word, "evil [man]" (
κακός ) is the masculine nominative singular of the adjective used substantively while the second word, "evilly" (
κακῶς ) is the adverb of the same root.
