Greek display:    
Headword: *makari/a tw=n bi/wn
Adler number: mu,50
Translated headword: blessedness of [people's] lives
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
and [o] blessed man for [your] habits.
Greek Original:
*makari/a tw=n bi/wn, kai\ maka/rie tw=n tro/pwn.
Notes:
For the idiom cf. omega 79.
If reliably transmitted, the primary headword phrase includes either the nominative (or vocative) of the abstract noun makari/a or else the feminine nominative (or vocative) singular of the related adjective maka/rios; and the secondary one appears to include the masculine vocative singular of that adjective.
Adler suggests Symeon Metaphrastes as a possible source. In any event, neither phrase is attested elsewhere.
