Heraclitus: Diels B fragments Carrier fragment 22B117

ἀνὴρ ὁκόταν μεθυσθῆι, ἄγεται ὑπὸ παιδὸς ἀνήβου σφαλλόμενος, οὐκ ἐπαΐων ὅκη βαίνει, ὑγρὴν τὴν ψυχὴν ἔχων.

Whenever a man becomes drunk, he is led by a beardless boy, stumbling and not knowing where he is going, because his soul is moist.

Lorsqu’un homme est ivre, il se laisse conduire par un enfant impubère, trébuchant sans savoir où il va, car il a l’âme humide.
