Translation
"With everyone courting the king, he himself kept quiet, not wishing to thrust forward into familiarity."
Greek original · Adler’s text
Προεμπίπτειν· τὸν βασιλέα πάντων θεραπευόντων, αὐτὸς ἡσύχαζε, μὴ βουλόμενος προεμπίπτειν εἰς γνῶσιν.
Betacode
*proempi/ptein: to\n basile/a pa/ntwn qerapeuo/ntwn, au)to\s h(su/xaze, mh\ boulo/menos proempi/ptein ei)s gnw=sin.
Notes
- An approximation of Diogenes Laertius 4.39, on the philosopher Arcesilaus (and Antigonus Gonatas). The present headword -- present active infinitive of
proempi/ptw -- is extracted from it.
Further material from this same context occurs at epsilon 665 (and pi 1918).
