Translation

"[It is said that] the courtesan, pursued by some people, fled into his little house; and he admitted her out of humanity."¹
Also [sc. attested is the comparative] a)nqrwpinw/teros ["more humane"].²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἀνθρώπινον. δῆθεν διωκομένην ὑπό τινων τὴν ἑταίραν καταφυγεῖν εἰς τὸ οἰκίδιον· τὸν δὲ ἕνεκα τοῦ ἀνθρωπίνου εἰσδέξασθαι αὐτήν. καὶ Ἀνθρωπινώτερος.

Notes (2)

The unglossed headword, neuter nominative/accusative singular or masculine accusative singular, is perhaps (though not demonstrably) generated by the neuter genitive singular in the quotation given.
1From Diogenes Laertius 4.7 (on Xenocrates and Phryne). ↩
