Translation
[Meaning] humble. [The term comes] from not loving [filei=n ] honor [timh/ ], or being a slave to reputation. Or one who is engaged in nothing worthwhile. And a thrifty person [is so described] among some.1
"No one had so little regard for honor that after seeing Moses he was not astounded by his beauty".2
"No one had so little regard for honor that after seeing Moses he was not astounded by his beauty".2
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἀφιλότιμος· ταπεινός. παρὰ τὸ μὴ φιλεῖν τιμὴν, ἢ ἡττᾶσθαι δόξης. ἢ ὁ πρὸς μηδὲν ἀξιόλογον ἐπεστραμμένος. καὶ ὁ φειδωλὸς παρ' ἐνίοις. οὐδεὶς ἦν ἀφιλότιμος οὕτως, ὡς Μωϋσῆν θεασάμενος μὴ ἐκπλαγείη τῆς εὐμορφίας.
