Δίκαιος ἀδικεῖν οὐκ ἐπίσταται τρόπος → Iniuste facere nesciunt mores probi → Ein rechter Sinn versteht sich nicht aufs Unrecht tun

Menander, Monostichoi, 136

English (Strong)

comparative of a derivative of the primary temno (to cut; more comprehensive or decisive than κόπτω, as if by a single stroke; whereas that implies repeated blows, like hacking); more keen: sharper.

English (Thayer)

τομωτερα, τομωτερον (comparitive from τομός cutting, sharp, and this from τέμνω), sharper: Phocylid. verse 116 (Gnom. Poet. Graec. edition Brunck, p. 116)) ὅπλον τοι λόγος ἀνδρί τομωτερον ἐστι σιδήρου; add, Timon in Athen. 10, p. 445e.; Lucian, Tox. 11).
