αἱ τρίχες, ἢν σιγᾷς, εἰσὶ φρένες: ἢν δὲ λαλήσῃς,
ὡς αἱ τῆς ἥβης, οὐ φρένες, ἀλλὰ τρίχες.

— Paton edition

Your grey hairs, if you keep silent, are wisdom,
but if you speak they are not wisdom but hairs, like
those of youth.

Paternité

Le manuscrit planudéen attribue cette épigramme à Λουκιανοῦ tandis qu'aucune information n'est prodiguée par le palatin.

Les éditeurs (Baldwin, Lucian, p. 333) la considèrent généralement (Utet, Waltz,...) cf. Utet, t. II, p. 902.
