"Not being able or not being willing to calculate what has been done and to hate what was done badly."1

Greek original · Adler’s text

Λογιστεῦσαι· ἀπαριθμήσασθαι, ἀναμετρῆσαι. οὐ δυνάμενος ἢ οὐ βουλόμενος λογιστεῦσαι τὰ πεπραγμένα καὶ μισῆσαι τὰ κακῶς πραχθέντα.

Notes (1)

  1. The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is aorist infinitive of the verb logisteu/w. The basic meaning of the verb is "act as a logisth/s" (lambda 650, lambda 651, lambda 653); here it is used figuratively.
  2. 1An approximation of Athanasius (PG 27.173) and of Theodoret (PG 80.1121a) on Psalm 35.3 LXX. ↩
