[Meaning] munificently, excessively, attentively.1
But when the Theologian says, "for those who have abolished the love of honor," some say [he means] philosophy and rhetoric, "not to mention for us who have set these [concerns] aside," and so on.2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Φιλοτίμως· μεγαλοδώρως, ὑπερμέτρως, ἐπιμελῶς. ὁ δὲ Θεολόγος ὅτε λέγει, τὸ φιλότιμον καταλύσασι, τινές φασι τὴν φιλοσοφίαν καὶ τὴν ῥητορικήν· μὴ ὅτι γε ἡμῖν τοῖς ἀφήσασι ταῦτα, καὶ ἑξῆς.
