Ancient Greek
εἰσὶν δὲ καὶ ψευδεῖς ἀντιθέσεις, οἷον καὶ Ἐπίχαρμος ἐποίει, τόκα μὲν ἐν τήνων ἐγὼν ἦν, τόκα δὲ παρὰ τήνοις ἐγών.
English
J. H. Freese, 1926
There are also false antitheses, as in the verse of Epicharmus: τόκα μὲν ἐν τήνων ἐγὼν ἦν, τόκα δὲ παρὰ τήνοις ἐγών , at one time I was in their house, at another I was with them.

Il existe aussi de fausses antithèses, comme dans ce vers d’Épicharme: τόκα μὲν ἐν τήνων ἐγὼν ἦν, τόκα δὲ παρὰ τήνοις ἐγών, tantôt j’étais dans leur maison, tantôt j’étais auprès d’eux.
