Talk:τα εν οίκω μη εν δήμω

Just wondering if my Ancient Greek is correct - as I have almost zero knowledge of Ancient Greek, only Modern! Rossyxan (talk) 16:04, 9 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello . The words look ok, and your trans looks great. Let me transliterate it in polytonic, and... let's check how this phrase came to being??? I have no idea. Give me a second sarri.greek (talk) 16:10, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
 * you anc gre is ok, perhaps need to link to each word now.    ἐν : Those of the house, not in public = not to be publicized. It is a ρητό=?? saying?
 * The ἐν οἴκῳ, τὰ ἐν τῷ δήμῳ εἰρημέναthose said in public and ἐν δήμῳ bits are ancient for sure,, but the whole phrase? I am afraid it is not ancient. I cannot find an ancient text with it. Bab says nothing, DSMG nothing... LSJ nothing, DGE yok. Books.googgle I find 1860s but not further back. Internet sites: not to be trusted. Only Dimitrakos says: ancient and modern proverb If your trust him, ok. But I have NOT found it....
 * PS lemma δήμος link1 - link2 (I have got the .jpgs)
 * I shall add this one to my long-term to-check folders :( sarri.greek (talk) 16:39, 9 September 2018 (UTC)


 * No doubt it's one of those phrases learned Greeks invented in Katharevousa then. Rossyxan
 * Hope so: I would erase the inh|el|grc though. sarri.greek (talk) 16:48, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
