Notes:
[1] cf. generally
alpha 2873. The present headword, neuter plural of this superlative, does not occur in the passage about to be quoted, but see next note.
[2] A poor paraphrase -- at times destroying the sense altogether -- of Marcus Aurelius,
Meditations 1.9.1-3. This paragraph details what he learned 'from
Sextus' (
Sextus of
Chaeronea, one of his teachers:
sigma 235) about kindliness; at the end of the passage
a)paqe/staton occurs. See translation at web address 1.
