Lack of fear.¹
"They were ordering him to say with impunity what he might need; he was acknowledging the favour of the impunity, but having exalted his own suffering on high he was blaming the Romans [sc. for it]."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἄδεια· ἡ ἀφοβία. ἐκέλευον αὐτὸν λέγειν ὅ τι χρῄζοι μετ' ἀδείας· ὁ δὲ τῆς μὲν ἀδείας χάριν ὡμολόγει, τὸ δὲ ἑαυτοῦ πάθος ἐπὶ μέγα ἐξάρας Ῥωμαίοις ἐμέμφετο.
