To build a house and to rear horses appear to be expensive; which is also connected to the Laconian curse. It is this: 'may house and rampart get you, and may your horse and your wife take a lover', all these things being expensive and damaging.
Greek Original:
Οἰκοδομή: ὅτι τὸ οἰκοδομεῖν καὶ ἵππους τρέφειν δοκεῖ δαπανηρὰ εἶναι, ὅπερ καὶ τῇ Λακωνικῇ προσέζευκται κατάρᾳ. ἔστι δὲ αὕτη: οἰκοδομά σε λάβοι καὶ ἀμβολά, ὁ δὲ ἵππος καὶ ἁ γυνά τοι μοιχὸν ἔχοι. ὡς τούτων πάντων δαπανηρῶν ὄντων καὶ ἐπιζημίων.
