Έγ', ὦ ταλαίπωρ', αὐτὸς ὧν χρείᾳ πάρει. Τὰ πολλὰ γάρ τοι ῥήματ' ἢ τέρψαντά τι, ἢ δυσχεράναντ', ἢ κατοικτίσαντά πως, παρέσχε φωνὴν τοῖς ἀφωνήτοις τινά –> Wretched brother, tell him what you need. A multitude of words can be pleasurable, burdensome, or they can arouse pity somehow — they give a kind of voice to the voiceless.

Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus, 1280-4

English (Thayer)

(καλός and λιμήν), Fair Havens (German Schönhafen; Luth. Gutfurt), a bay of Crete, near the city Lasaea; so called because offering good anchorage; now Limenes kali (BB. DD.): Acts 27:8.
