[Meaning] one who is always in good [things].¹
But God is also called blessed and faithful and the only mighty one. But the munificent one shared his name with those who live piously, as he also [shared] the name of "god": "I said, you are gods."² And many other names are like this.³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Μακάριος· ὁ ἐν ἀγαθοῖς πάντοτε ὤν. λέγεται δὲ καὶ ὁ θεὸς μακάριος καὶ πιστὸς καὶ μόνος δυνάστης. μετέδωκε δὲ ὁ μεγαλόδωρος τοῦ ὀνόματος τοῖς εὐσεβῶς ζῶσιν· ὥσπερ καὶ τοῦ θεός· ἐγὼ εἶπα, θεοὶ ἐστέ. καὶ ἄλλα πλεῖστα ὀνόματα τοιαῦτά εἰσι.
