Φιλοκαλοῦμέν τε γὰρ μετ' εὐτελείας καὶ φιλοσοφοῦμεν ἄνευ μαλακίας → Our love of what is beautiful does not lead to extravagance; our love of the things of the mind does not makes us soft.

Τhucydides, 2.40.1

Greek (Liddell-Scott)

πτερνιστήρ: ῆρος, ὁ, τὸ σιδήριον τὸ προσαρμοζόμενον εἰς τὴν πτέρναν τῶν ὑποδημάτων, κυρίως τῶν ἱππέων ὅπως δι’ αὐτῶν κεντῶσι τοὺς ἵππους, Λέοντ. Τακτ. 6, 4,
