Translation
[Meaning] boldness.1
*qrasu/s ["rash"] differs from qarrale/os ["bold"]: [this is] because the rash man has an accusation of being bad, but the bold man is praised as good. Hyperides says [this] in the Kythnian [Speech]: "rash men do everything without consideration, but bold men endure steadfastly with consideration the dangers that befall them."2
Greek original · Adler’s text
Θαρραλέον· θάρσος. Θρασὺς θαρραλέου διαφέρει· ὅτι ὁ μὲν θρασὺς διαβολὴν ἔχει κακὸς ὤν, ὁ δὲ θαρραλέος ὡς ἀγαθὸς ἐπαινεῖται. Ὑπερίδης φησὶν ἐν τῷ Κυθνιακῷ· οἱ μὲν θρασεῖς ἄνευ λογισμοῦ πάντα πράττουσιν, οἱ δὲ θαρραλέοι μετὰ λογισμοῦ τοὺς προσπεσόντας κινδύνους ἀνέκπληκτοι ὑπομένουσιν.
