Zenobius 1.36

The Graces are naked

English

either because one ought to bestow favours unstintingly and openly; or because the ungrateful have stripped themselves of their proper adornment.

Αἱ Χάριτες γυμναί

ἤτοι ὅτι δεῖ ἀφειδῶς καὶ φανερῶς χαρίζεσθαι· ἢ ὅτι οἱ ἀχάριστοι τὸν ἑαυτῶν κόσμον ἀφῄρηνται.
