pedatim
ὥσπερ γὰρ ζώου τῶν ὄψεων ἀφαιρεθεισῶν ἀχρειοῦται τὸ ὅλον, οὕτως ἐξ ἱστορίας ἀναιρεθείσης τῆς ἀληθείας τὸ καταλειπόμενον αὐτῆς ἀνωφελὲς γίνεται διήγημα → for just as a living creature which has lost its eyesight is wholly incapacitated, so if history is stripped of her truth all that is left is but an idle tale | for, just as closed eyes make the rest of an animal useless, what is left from a history blind to the truth is just a pointless tale
Latin > English (Lewis & Short)
pĕdātim: adv. pes,
I foot by foot, one foot after another: leo tantum et camelus (gradiuntur) pedatim, hoc est, ut sinister pes non transeat dextrum sed subsequatur, Plin. 11, 45, 105, § 253.
Latin > French (Gaffiot 2016)
pĕdātim (pes), pied à pied, le pied gauche ne dépassant pas le pied droit, mais restant après [en parl. du lion et du chameau] : Plin. 11, 253.
