ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).
What does it contribute to my benefit, the man who, after the manner of Euripides, plays the madman and reports the matricide of Alcmaeon, who has not even his proper appearance, but gapes wide and carries about a sword, and shrieking is consumed, and wears an inhuman costume? Away with the fables of Acusilaus too, and Menander the versifier of that man's tongue. What good does it do me to be amazed at the mythic flute-player? And why should I busy myself about Aristoxenus, or the Theban Antigenidas? We yield to you the things that are not beneficial; and you either be persuaded by our doctrines, or, in like manner as we yield yours, withdraw from us.
