Prudent. But the prudent man and the good man are not equivalents. For the 'good' man [has] something extra. For the prudent man [is] good, [as is] the brave man and others. Those who have some knowledge are also called good.[1]

Greek Original:
Ἀγαθός: ὁ φρόνιμος. οὐκ ἐπίσης δὲ ὁ φρόνιμος καὶ ὁ ἀγαθός. ἐπιπλέον γὰρ ὁ ἀγαθός. ἀγαθὸς γὰρ ὁ σώφρων, ὁ ἀνδρεῖος καὶ οἱ λοιποί. ἀγαθοὶ λέγονται καὶ οἱ ἐπιστήμονες. τοὺς δὲ Δάους ἀγαθοὺς μὲν ἀκοντιστὰς, ἀγαθοὺς δὲ καὶ ἐν χερσὶ ποιήσασθαι μάχην.
