Διογένης ὁ φιλόσοφος ἰδων μειράκιον
περισσῶς καλλωπιζόμενον, εἶπεν, "Εἰ
μὲν πρὸς ἄνδρας, ἀτυχεῖς δὲ προς
γυναῖκας, ἀδικεῖς."

Diogenēs philosophus vidēns juvenculum
nimis ornātum, dīxit, "Sī
equidem marītīs, scelestus; sī vērō
uxōribus, injustus."

Diogenes the philosopher, upon seeing a young man
excessively dressed, said to him, "if you are dressed this way
for the husbands, you are accursed; if for their
wives, unjust."
