ἀφλοισμός
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)
ὁ,
A foaming at the mouth, ἀφλοισμὸς δὲ περὶ στόμα γίγνετο, of an angry man, Il.15.607, cf. Euph.51.4. (Cf. πεφλοιδέναι, ἔφλιδεν, Hsch.)
German (Pape)
[Seite 413] ὁ, Il. 15, 607 περὶ στόμα γίγνετο, von einem Wüthenden, Schaum. Geifer. Andere erkl. Zähneknirschen. Hängt wohl mit φλοῖσβος zusammen, w. m. s.
Greek (Liddell-Scott)
ἀφλοισμός: ὁ, ἐν Ἰλ. Ο. 607, ἐπὶ ὠργισμένου ἀνθρώπου, ἀφλοισμὸς δὲ περὶ στόμα γίγνετο, πιθ. (ἐκ τοῦ α εὐφων.) = φλοῖσβος, πάφλασμα, τὸ φύρδην τὰ ῥήματα ἐκβάλλειν τοῦ στόματος· καθ’ Ἡσύχ. «ἀφλοισμός· ἀφρὸς» (πρβλ. Ὀρφ. Λιθ. 475). Κατὰ τὸ Μ. Ἐτυμ. (177, 48) «… ἤ παρὰ τὸ ἀφρίζω, ἀφρισμὸς… ἤ παρὰ τὸ φλέω, φλοισμὸς καὶ ἀφλοισμός, ἔτι δὲ ψόφος ποιός, ἤ ἀφρός». Πρβλ. τὸ ῥῆμα φλέω.
