Τὸ νικᾶν αὐτὸν αὑτὸν πασῶν νικῶν πρώτη τε καὶ ἀρίστη. Τὸ δὲ ἡττᾶσθαι αὐτὸν ὑφ' ἑαυτοῦ πάντων αἴσχιστόν τε ἅμα καὶ κάκιστον. → Τo conquer yourself is the first and best victory of all, while to be conquered by yourself is of all the most shameful as well as evil

Plato, Laws, 626e

Etymology: Egyptian, M. Malaise, Chronique d'Égypte 74 (1999) 224-230. Aelius Aristides, Or. 36, 108-110 (Keil) mentions that a priest told it meant χρυσοῦν ἔδαφος; so the story of Hecataeus that it was the name of the steersman of Menelaos was just Greek invention.
