ἐνθαῦτα ἀναγκαίῃ ἐξέργομαι γνώμην ἀποδέξασθαιἐπίφθονον μὲν πρὸς τῶν πλεόνων ἀνθρώπων,
ὅμως δέ, τῇ γέ μοι φαίνεται εἶναι ἀληθές,οὐκ ἐπισχήσω.

Here I am compelled to put forward an opinion which most people will not be happy about;
but nevertheless, since it seems to me to be true, I will not hold it back.
