On the Lattice of a House

ἢν κλείσῃς μ᾽, ἀνέῳγα: καὶ ἢν οἴξῃς μ᾽ ἐπικλείσεις.^
τοῖος ἐὼν τηρεῖν σὸν δόμον οὐ δύναμαι.
— Paton edition

If you shut me I am open, and if you open me
you will shut me. Being such, I cannot guard your
house.¹
— Paton edition

Scholium 9.781.1

Paton Edition: A very silly epigram. The lattice, having holes in it, is open when shut and shut when open, ae the light no longer comes through it.
