It is better to dwell in a desert land, Than with a contentious and fretful woman.

It is better to be living in a waste land, than with a bitter-tongued and angry woman.

Καλητερον να κατοικη τις εν γη ερημω παρα μετα γυναικος φιλεριδος και θυμωδους.

It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
