φιλοσοφώτερον καὶ σπουδαιότερον ποίησις ἱστορίας ἐστίν: ἡ μὲν γὰρ ποίησις μᾶλλον τὰ καθόλου, ἡ δ' ἱστορία τὰ καθ' ἕκαστον λέγει → poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts

Greek (Liddell-Scott)

κόθουρος: -ον, ἐπὶ τῶν κηφήνων, κολοβός, ἄνευ οὐρᾶς, δηλ. μὴ ἔχων κέντρον Ἡσιόδ. Ἔργ. κ. Ἡμέρ. 302· ― περὶ τοῦ κοθοῦρις ἴδε ἐν λέξ. κόλουρος. (Ὁ Ἡσύχ. ἔχει κοθώ, οῦς, ἡ, = βλάβη, ὥστελέξις φαίνεται σύνθετος ἐκ τῶν κοθώ, οὐρά.)
