Translation
Meaning softened,1 moistened. Plato in Theaetetus [writes]: "when the wax in the soul is deep and abundant and smooth and moderately kneaded ...".2 But [the verb] o)rga/zein properly means to moisten the clay with the hands and mix it.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ὠργασμένος· ἀντὶ τοῦ μεμαλαγμένος, ἀναδεδευμένος. Πλάτων Θεαιτήτῳ· ὅταν μὲν ὁ καιρός του ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ βαθύς τε καὶ πολὺς καὶ λεῖος καὶ μετρίως ὠργασμένος. Ὀργάζειν δὲ κυρίως τὸ ταῖς χερσὶ τὸν πηλὸν ἀναδεύειν καὶ φυρᾶν.
