Translation
Sophocles [says this]. In [the sense of] not perceiving the evils, since it will be quite ridiculous [if it were] as though he is praising witlessness.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἐν τῷ φρονεῖν γὰρ μηδὲν ἥδιστος βίος· Σοφοκλῆς. ἐν τῷ μὴ ἀντιλαμβάνεσθαι τῶν κακῶν, ἐπεὶ ἔσται γελοιότατον, ὡς τιμῶντος τὴν ἀφροσύνην.
