Men's hands

Notes

Postpositive. Sometimes this word is untranslatable. It can occur as a correlative conjunction with δέ. In this case you can translate μέν ... δέ as "on the one hand ... but on the other." English generally does not require the "on the one hand" to be translated but it is a matter of style.
