Translation
A certain hybris, that which is a type of hybris.1 And in the matter of what it is that is the predicate of [scoffing]: the type of hybris that comes about through ridicule is called "scoffing", but [the type that comes about] through blows is equivocally "hybris".2
And elsewhere Aelian [writes]: "going about into the temple, scoffing, he jeered at the attendants of the god."2
And elsewhere Aelian [writes]: "going about into the temple, scoffing, he jeered at the attendants of the god."2
Greek original · Adler’s text
Χλευασία· ὕβρις τις, εἶδος οὖσα τῆς ὕβρεως. καὶ ἐν τῷ τί ἐστι κατηγορεῖται αὐτῆς· τῆς γὰρ ὕβρεως ἡ διὰ καταγέλωτος γινομένη χλευασία καλεῖται, ἡ δὲ διὰ πληγῶν ὕβρις ὁμωνύμως. καὶ αὖθις Αἰλιανός· περιϊὼν δὲ ἐς τὸν νεών, χλευάζων γε μὴν τοὺς θεοῦ θεραπευτῆρας καὶ ἐπετώθαζεν.
