Translation

[Meaning] unfortunate.¹
"But he, being a Cretan and naturally quick-witted, was weighing up every fact and sounding out every intention."¹ ["Was weighing up"] meaning was examining.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Βαρυδαίμων· ἀτυχής. ὁ δὲ Κρὴς ὑπάρχων καὶ φύσει ποικίλος, πᾶν ἐβάσταζε πρᾶγμα καὶ πᾶσαν ἐπίνοιαν ἐψηλάφα. ἀντὶ τοῦ διεσκέπτετο.

Notes (1)

[1] For this headword see e.g. Aristophanes, Ecclesiazusae 1102; and cf. epsilon 3718.
1Polybius 8.16.4, on Bolis (beta 480). As Suda editors have noted, this quotation has nothing to do with the headword, and seems to have become detached from beta 173.
