noble
[Meaning] one who was born well. Also [sc. attested is the proverbial saying] "you are noble through your purse", in reference to those appearing to be wellborn because of wealth. "The noble man [is] superior to money."
Γενναῖος· ὁ εὖ γεγονώς. καὶ Γενναῖος εἶ ἐκ βαλαντίου, ἐπὶ τῶν διὰ πλοῦτον εὐγενῶν εἶναι δοκούντων. ὅτι χρημάτων κρείττων ὁ γενναῖος ἀνήρ.
