Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)Chambry 231 = Perry 160
Λύκος τετρωμένος καὶ πρόβατον.Λύκος ὑπὸ κυνῶν δηχθεὶς καὶ κακῶς διατεθεὶς ἐβέβλητο τροφὴν ἑαυτῷ περιποιεῖσθαι μὴ δυνάμενος· καὶ δὴ θεασάμενος πρόβατον, τούτου ἐδεήθη ποτὸν αὐτῷ ὀρέξαι ἐκ τοῦ παραρρέοντος ποταμοῦ· Ἐὰν γὰρ σύ μοι ποτὸν δῷς, ἐγὼ τὴν τροφὴν ἐμαυτῷ εὑρήσω. Τὸ δὲ ὑποτυχὸν ἔφη· Ἐὰν ποτόν σοι ἐπιδώσω ἐγώ, σὺ καὶ τροφῇ μοι χρήσῃ. Πρὸς ἄνδρα κακοῦργον δι' ὑποκρίσεως ἐνεδρεύοντα ὁ λόγος εὔκαιρος. (variant version from Chambry's first edition) Λύκος τετρωμένος καὶ πρόβατον.Λύκος ὑπὸ κυνῶν δηχθεὶς καὶ κακῶς πάσχων ἐβέβλητο. Τροφῆς δὲ ἀπορῶν, θεασάμενος πρόβατον, ἐδεῖτο ποτὸν ἐκ τοῦ παραρρέοντος αὐτῷ ποταμοῦ κομίσαι. Εἰ γὰρ σύ μοι, φησί, δώσεις ποτόν, ἐγὼ τροφὴν ἑμαυτῷ εὑρήσω. Τὸ δὲ ὑποτυχὸν ἔφη· Ἀλλ' ἐὰν ἐγὼ ποτὸν ἐπιδῶ σοι, σὺ καὶ τροφῇ μοι χρήσῃ.Ὁ μῦθος πρὸς ἄνδρα κακοῦργον δι' ὑποκρίσεως ἐνεδρεύοντα. Chambry published a multivolume edition of the fables for the Belles Lettres series in 1925/6 (Paris). He later revised this into a single volume, omitting hundreds of the fable variants. In addition, the numeration between these two volumes is not consistent. The texts here are taken from the 1925/6 edition, but the numeration follows the stanard single volume edition. |
