Translation
An Egyptian man; this man was very clever at understanding [things], but not a powerful fighter for the truth, nor [keen] at tracing or pursuing the roads which proceed out from this. For this man, on the contrary, had been allotted good fortune.1
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἡραΐσκος, ἀνὴρ Αἰγύπτιος· οὗτος ἦν μὲν συνεῖναι δεινότατος, ἀγωνιστὴς δὲ οὐκ ἰσχυρὸς ἀπὸ τῆς ἀληθείας, οὐδὲ τὰς ἔξω φερούσας ἀπὸ ταύτης ὁδοὺς ἀνιχνεῦσαι καὶ διεξελθεῖν. οὗτος γὰρ ἐς τοὐναντίον ἐκεκλήρωτο τὴν εὐμοιρίαν.
