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

Latin > English (Lewis & Short)

tergīnum: i, n. [id.],
I a hide, raw-hide, as a scourge, Lucil. ap. Non. 414, 9: vostrum durius tergum erit quam terginum hot meum'st, Plaut. Ps. 1, 2, 19.
