Translation
[Meaning] manly, not slacking, nor softening, nor becoming flaccid.1
Damascius [writes]: "the life-style they allotted themselves was measured and unbroken, neither wrong-doing on account of poverty nor slacking on account of wealth, but moderate and harmonious and in the Dorian mode as truly tuned".2

Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἄθρυπτος· ἀνδρώδης, μὴ βλακεύουσα, μηδὲ μαλακιζομένη, μηδὲ χαυνουμένη. Δαμάσκιος· τὴν δὲ τροφὴν ἐκληρώσαντο μετρίαν τινὰ καὶ ἄθρυπτον, οὔτε κακουργοῦσαν διὰ πενίαν, οὔτε διὰ πλοῦτον βλακεύουσαν, ἀλλὰ μέσην καὶ μουσικὴν καὶ τὸν Δώριον τρόπον ὡς ἀληθῶς ἡρμοσμένην.

Notes (2)
- Likewise in ps.-Zonaras. The headword is the masculine/feminine nominative singular (here feminine: see next note) of the two-termination adjective
a)/qruptos ; cf. theta 519, theta 520, theta 521. - 1The second, third and fourth of these glosses show that the headword itself is feminine, as in the quotation given; cf. theta 519. ↩
- 2Damascius, Life of Isidore fr. 98 Zintzen (50 Asmus); again at delta 1461. On the Dorian mode "perceived as dignified and manly" see M.L. West, Ancient Greek Music (Oxford 1992) 179-80. ↩
