Oἷς ὁ βιος ἀεὶ φόβων καὶ ὑποψίας ἐστὶ πλήρης, τούτοις οὔτε πλοῦτος οὔτε δόξα τέρψιν παρέχει. -> To those for whom life is always full of fears and suspicion, neither wealth nor fame offers pleasure.

Hello! Could you translate this sentence, please?

Oις ο βιος αει φοβων και υποψιας εςτι πληρης, τουτοις ουτε πλουτος ουτε δοξα τερψιν παρεχει.

Thanks for the help!

"To those for whom life is always full of fears and suspicion, neither wealth nor fame offers any pleasure."

What's it from, Omar?

[Omar]

It's from my Greek's book, I'm trying to study Ancient Greek on my own.
Thank you for helping me, my translation didn't make any sense.

Glad to help!  In the future, feel free to ask grammatical questions and submit your own translations for comment.  By the way, a great book for studying Greek on your own is James Turney Allen's The First Year of Greek.  You can download it at
