remains,

changed;
what we have been or we are now, tomorrow we will be not.

How much do the old men keep in mind?
If heavy study and labor and honesty remain in the old age, memory,
knowledge and wisdom often remain, too.

made tragedies;
but on account of this study he has been seen to neglect the family and
he was called
by sons into judgment. Then the author has recited his tragedy
"Oedipus at Colonus",
which he has held with himself and which he had written shortly before.
When that tragedy has been recited, the old man has been freed by the
votes of
judgments.(ここの訳自信無し)
