Aesop's Fables (Chambry edition)Chambry 116 = Perry 93 Ἔχις καὶ ῥίνη. Ἔχις εἰσελθὼν εἰς χαλκουργοῦ ἐργαστήριον παρὰ τῶν σκευῶν ἔρανον ᾔτει· λαβὼν δὲ παρ' αὐτῶν ἧκε πρὸς τὴν ῥίνην καὶ αὐτὴν παρεκάλει δοῦναί τι αὐτῷ. Ἡ δὲ ὑποτυχοῦσα εἶπεν· Ἀλλ' εὐηθὴς εἶ παρ' ἐμοῦ τι ἀποίσεσθαι οἰόμενος, ἥτις οὐ διδόναι, ἀλλὰ λαμβάνειν παρὰ πάντων εἴωθα.Ὁ λόγος δηλοῖ ὅτι μάταιοί εἰσιν οἱ παρὰ φιλαργύρων τι κερδανεῖν προσδοκῶντες. 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. |
