Greek display:    
Headword: *au)tokako\n e)/oike tw=|de
Adler number: alpha,4494
Translated headword: he seemed evil itself to him
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] extremely and to the point of excess he seemed to him well-disposed.
Greek Original:
*au)tokako\n e)/oike tw=|de: a)/krws kai\ kaq' u(perbolh\n e)/oike tw=|de eu)/nous.
Note:
The headword phrase is taken to come from comedy: Comica adespota fr. 658 Kock, now 559 K.-A. The glossing comes from Phrynichus (Praeparatio sophistica fr. 279), but the final and nonsensical 'well-disposed' has strayed in from somewhere else.
Keywords: comedy; ethics
