Μακαρία τῶν βίων, καὶ μακάριε τῶν τρόπων.
Betacode
*makari/a tw=n bi/wn, kai\ maka/rie tw=n tro/pwn.
Notes
- For the idiom cf. omega 79.
If reliably transmitted, the primary headword phrase includes either the nominative (or vocative) of the abstract nounmakari/a or else the feminine nominative (or vocative) singular of the related adjectivemaka/rios ; and the secondary one appears to include the masculine vocative singular of that adjective.
Adler suggests Symeon Metaphrastes as a possible source. In any event, neither phrase is attested elsewhere.
