Τὸ νικᾶν αὐτὸν αὑτὸν πασῶν νικῶν πρώτη τε καὶ ἀρίστη. Τὸ δὲ ἡττᾶσθαι αὐτὸν ὑφ' ἑαυτοῦ πάντων αἴσχιστόν τε ἅμα καὶ κάκιστον. → Τo conquer yourself is the first and best victory of all, while to be conquered by yourself is of all the most shameful as well as evil

Plato, Laws, 626e

Greek (Liddell-Scott)

Κάρπᾰθος: ἡ, νῆσος μεταξὺ Κρήτης καὶ Ρόδου, ἀνθ᾽ οὗ παρ᾽ Ὁμ. (Ἰλ. Β. 676) ὑπάρχει Κράπαθος χάριν τοῦ μέτρου· ὁ συνήθης τύπος Κάρπαθος κατὰ πρῶτον ἀπαντᾷ ἐν Ὁμ. Ὕμν. εἰς Ἀπόλλ. 43· - τὸ Καρπάθιον πέλαγος κατὰ πρῶτον παρὰ Στράβ. 488.
