Translation
[Meaning] plenty or to surfeit, sufficiently, abundantly.
Or furiously, in excess.
In Charmides [sc. Plato writes]: "since we have enough of those things."1
And Herodotus [writes]: "when they had had enough killing, they drove off the rest of them."2
"When the fire had spread about enough to the houses near the walls, the city was filled with confusion."3
And elsewhere: "they had enjoyed enough wine in the evening and carried on into the night."4
And elsewhere: "they were drawing off wine to excess and without experience, and when they had fallen over they lay down at random as each of them happened to."5
And elsewhere: "the Celts filled up with enough wine and other things, being undisciplined in nature and having a country which was unfertile and unsuitable for any other things except for the fruits of Demeter.6 Their bodies were big and voluptuous and full of flaccid flesh, and because of gluttony and drunkenness they were given over to bulk and weight; they were altogether incapable of runs and labours. And they were quickly made faint with sweat and wheezing whenever something [like running and working] was necessary."7
And elsewhere: "when the royal advisors came into power they set about excessively consuming the public funds [and] Sybaritically debauching the young man."8
