Fragment 129

Πυθαγόρης Μνησάρχου ἱστορίην ἤσκησεν ἀνθρώπων μάλιστα πάντων καὶ ἐκλεξάμενος ταύτας τὰς συγγραφὰς ἐποιήσατο ἑαυτοῦ σοφίην, πολυμαθίην, κακοτεχνίην

Pythagoras, son of Mnesarchus, pursued inquiry further than all other men and, choosing what he liked from these compositions, claimed for himself a wisdom of his own: much learning, a bad craft.
