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 ...
adv.
P. δημοσίᾳ. In sight of all: P. προδήλως. He must speak publicly what he would say: V. δεῖ δʼ αὐτὸν λέγειν εἰς φῶς ὃ λέξει (Soph., Phil. 580).
