Babrius, Fabulae Aesopeae

ἐκένωσαν αὐτὴν οὐδʼ ἀφῆκαν εἰς ἄλλους

emptied it, and did not let it go on to other

ἔτι προελθεῖν, καίπερ ὄντας, ἀνθρώπους.

people any further, though there were [other] people.

ἐντεῦθεν Ἄραβές εἰσιν, ὡς ἐπειράθην,

From then on the Arabs are, as I have found by experience,

ψεῦσταί τε καὶ γόητες, ὧν ἐπὶ γλώσσης

liars and charlatans, on whose tongue

οὐδὲν κάθηται ῥῆμα τῆς ἀληθείης.

not one word of truth sits.

Ζλεὺς ἐν πίθῳ τὰ χρηστὰ πάντα συλλέξας

Zeus, having gathered all good things together in a jar,

ἔθηκεν αὐτὸν πωμάσας παρʼ ἀνθρώπῳ.

put a lid on it and set it beside a man.
