"But he did not cause grief to anyone by intention, nor pretending, nor simply being at all meddlesome about what had happened before."2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Πρόθεσις· προαίρεσις. ἀλλ' οὐδὲ ἐλύπησέ τινα κατὰ πρόθεσιν, οὐδὲ προσποιηθείς, οὐδὲ πολυπραγμονήσας ἁπλῶς οὐδὲν περὶ τῶν προγεγονότων.
