Notes
- Same entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon.
The unglossed headword is the usual term in Plato for (moral) incontinence, want of self-control, weakness of will (the opposite of epsilon 123/epsilon 124/epsilon 125): see e.g. Plato, Timaeus 86D, Laws 886A, 908C, and generally LSJ s.v.
For a related term cf. alpha 956, alpha 978.
