ῥοδανός
δὶς ἐξαμαρτεῖν ταὐτὸν οὐκ ἀνδρὸς σοφοῦ → a wise man should not keep making the same mistake, a wise man should not repeat the same mistake, doing twice the same mistake is not a wise man's doing, making the same mistake twice does not befit the wise, making the same mistake twice does not belong to a man who is wise, making the same mistake twice does not belong to a wise man, the wise man does not make the same mistake twice, to commit the same sin twice is not a sign of a wise man, it is unwise to err twice
English (LSJ)
ή, όν, perhaps wavering, flickering, παρὰ ῥοδανὸν δονακῆα Il. 18.576:—this is the reading of most codd., but ancient critics differed as to the form; Zenod. gave διὰ ῥαδαλόν (which he derived from κραδαλόν); the reading of Aristoph. and Aristarch. is uncertain, perhaps παρὰ ῥαδινόν, v. Sch. ad loc.; cf. also ῥαδινός (Apollon. Lex., who reads ῥαδινόν, absurdly interprets as λεπτόν, οἱονεὶ ῥαδονόν, παρὰ τὸ ῥᾳδίως δονεῖδθαι).
German (Pape)
