καλῶς δρῶν ἐξαμαρτεῖν μᾶλλοννικᾶν κακῶς → I would prefer to fail with honor than to win by evil | I prefer to fail by acting rightly rather than win by acting wrongly | Better fail by doing right, than win by doing wrong (Sophocles, Philoctetes 95)

Greek (Liddell-Scott)

χειρορρέκτης: -ου, ὁ, (ῥέζω) = χειρουργός, Ἡσύχ. (ἔνθα ἡμαρτ. γραφ. χειροέρκτης).

Greek Monolingual

ὁ, Α
(κατά τον Ησύχ.) «χειρουργός».
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. Ο τ. που παραδίδει ο Ησύχ. χειροέρκτης θα έπρεπε πιθ. να διορθωθεί σε χειρορρέκτης < χειρ(ο)- + -ρρέκτης (< ῥέζω «πράττω»), πρβλ. μεγαλο-ρρέκτης].

German (Pape)

ὁ, = χειρουργός, Hesych.
