Πάντα ταῦτα ἐπείρασα ἐν τῇ σοφίᾳ: εἶπα Σοφισθήσομαι, καὶ αὐτὴ ἐμακρύνθη ἀπ' ἐμοῦ· κτλ. (Εcclesiastes 7:23f., LXX version) → I tried to give proof in wisdom of all those things; I said, I will be wise, but that wisdom was far from me ...
P. μῖλαξ, σμῖλαξ, ἡ (Plato) τάξος.
The word is also found in Euripides, Bacchae 703, and Aristophanes, Nubes 1007, but apparently with a different meaning.
