In memory of my great-great-grandfather
Charles Moreau Davis (1824–1900), AM, of Bloomfield, NJ,
classical scholar and teacher, whose Greek New Testament
has descended to me.
Parvīs imbūtus temptābis grandia tūtus.
If you have been trained in small things, you will
attempt great things safely.
– Marbod of Rennes (c. 1035–1123),
as quoted by Hugh of Saint Victor,
Didascalicon 6.3
