Headword:
*zhlou=n
Adler number: zeta,61
Translated headword: to envy, to emulate, to admire
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Sophocles [writes]: "yet even now I find it possible to envy you on this account, that you have no perception of these evils. Yes, life is sweetest when one lacks sense, for lack of judgment is a painless evil; that is, until one learns how to feel joy or pain."[2]

Notes:
The unglossed headword (presumably extracted from the quotation given) is the present infinitive of
zhlo/w. This verb can have a positive sense, to emulate/admire, and a negative one, to envy; cf.
zeta 62 and
zeta 63 for other uses.

Sophocles,
Ajax 552-555 (web address 1). The phrase
to\ mh\ fronei=n ga\r a)nw/dunon kako/n (line 554b) is present also in the mss of
Sophocles but is bracketed by most modern editors as an intrusive gloss derived from another play. See also
kappa 425.
