BOOK I, ODE 6.
Who with pared nails encounter youths in fight.
I like Ritter's interpretation of sectis, cut sharp, better than the
common one, which supposes the paring of the nails to denote that the
attack is not really formidable. Sectis will then be virtually
equivalent to Bentley's strictis. Perhaps my translation is not
explicit enough.
