Greek text · Archambault 2:294

Ἄλλα δέ τινα ἐπράξατε, καὶ οὐ δοκεῖτέ μοι ἐνηκόως τῶν λόγων ἐπακηκοέναι. Ἀλλʼ ἐπεὶ καὶ νῦν ἤδη ἡ ἡμέρα πέρας ποιεῖσθαι μέλλει, πρὸς δυσμὰς γὰρ ἤδη ὁ ἥλιός ἐστι, καὶ ἔν τι προσθεὶς τοῖς εἰρημένοις παύσομαι· τοῦτο δʼ αὐτὸ καὶ ἐν τοῖς εἰρημένοις μοι ἐρρέθη, ἀλλὰ πάλιν αὐτὸ ἐπεξεργάσασθαι ἄν δίκαιον εἶναί μοι δοκεῖ.

English · Claude translation

“But you were doing other things, and you do not seem to me to have listened attentively to the words. But since the day is now about to end, for the sun is already setting, I will add one thing to what has been said and stop; and this very thing has also been said by me before, but it seems right to me to work it out again.
