Book IX, 168
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. III, 1917)
Relationships
I, unhappy man, have married a wife who is “pernicious wrath,” and my profession, too, obliges me to begin with “wrath.” Oh, man of much wrath, forced to consort with wrath in two things, my calling as a grammarian and my combative wife!
