Translation

[Meaning] misfortunes.1 Oedipus [says]: "for my sufferings and the long time which is with me teaches me to be content, and, third, my nobility." The great length of time made him be content with his misfortunes and the multitude of his troubles and the excellence of his manliness.2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Πάθαι· αἱ συμφοραί. Οἰδίπους· στέργειν γὰρ αἱ πάθαι με χὠ χρόνος ξυνὼν μακρὸς διδάσκει καὶ τὸ γενναῖον τρίτον. στέργειν τὰ δυστυχήματα ὁ πολὺς ἐποίησε χρόνος καὶ τὸ τῶν συμφορῶν πλῆθος καὶ τὸ τῆς ἀνδρείας πλεονέκτημα.
