ἀμήχανον δὲ παντὸς ἀνδρὸς ἐκμαθεῖν ψυχήν τε καὶ φρόνημα καὶ γνώμην, πρὶν ἂν ἀρχαῖς τε καὶ νόμοισιν ἐντριβὴς φανῇ → hard it is to learn the mind of any mortal or the heart, 'till he be tried in chief authority | it is impossible to know fully any man's character, will, or judgment, until he has been proved by the test of rule and law-giving

Greek (Liddell-Scott)

κρηθμός: ὁ, ἢ κρῆθμον, τό, εἶδος μαράθρου ἢ κριτάμου φυομένου ἐπὶ κρημνῶν παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν, Ἱππ. 563. 56., 572. 42, κτλ. Ὁ τύπος, τὸ γένος καὶ ὁ τονισμὸς εἶναι ἅπαντα ἀβέβαια· κρίθμος φέρεται παρ’ Ἀρκαδ. 58. ― Κατὰ τὸν Διοσκ. 2, 157, κρίθμον,τό, «οἱ δὲ κρίταμον, θαμνοειδές ἐστι βοτάνιον, ἀμφιλαφές, περὶ πῆχυν τὸ ὕψος, φυόμενον ἐν πετρώδεσι καὶ παραθαλασσίοις τόποις, φύλλοις περίπλεον λιπαροῖς καὶ ὑπολεύκοις» κτλ.
