Μέτριος· ὁ μεμετρημένην ἔχων οὐσίαν· ἢ τὸ ἦθος ἐπιεικής. ἔνιοι δὲ τῶν μετρίων ἀνδρῶν διηπόρουν ἐπὶ τοῖς προσπίπτουσι. καὶ Μαρκελλῖνος· Τιμολέοντα δὲ ὁ Τίμαιος ὁ Ταυρομενείτης ὑπερεπῄνεσε τοῦ μετρίου.

- 2Quotation unidentifiable. (Adler indicates that it came to the Suda from the excerpts made for Constantine Porphyrogenitus.) ↩
- 3Marcellinus, Life of Thucydides (sic) 27, citing Timaeus [tau 600] FGrH 566 T13 (and cf. F119). For Timoleon, who does not have his own Suda entry, see also -- besides tau 600 -- epsilon 95. ↩
