Ἐχθρὸς γάρ μοι κεῖνος ὁμῶς Ἀΐδαο πύλῃσιν
ὅς χ’ ἕτερον μὲν κεύθῃ ἐνὶ φρεσίν, ἄλλο δὲ εἴπῃ.
Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is the man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another.

ἢ ὅθ’ ὁμοφρονέοντε νοήμασιν οἶκον ἔχητον
ἀνὴρ ἠδὲ γυνή·
The best thing in the world
being a strong house held in serenity
where man and wife agree.

ἀνὴρ ἠδὲ γυνή·
The best thing in the world
being a strong house held in serenity
where man and wife agree.

οὐ μὲν γὰρ τοῦ γε κρεῖσσον καὶ ἄρειον,
ἢ ὅθ’ ὁμοφρονέοντε νοήμασιν οἶκον ἔχητον
ἀνὴρ ἠδὲ γυνή·

being a strong house held in serenity
where man and wife agree.

Poor voucher.
