Headword: Γαῦρος
Adler number: gamma,78
Translated headword: haughty
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
"The man is haughty and proud and spends his time in campaigns and considers it the prime good to have honour and fame among men and overflowing wealth and to acquire for himself whatever he should wish and impudently not to know whether it is day or night because of drunkenness nor whether the sun is rising or setting, considering that the disposition of the sky is the same, having torn himself away from diverse harmless pastimes into negligence and torturing his spirit for his love of reputation, he stood up heavy and turned back from Pamphylia."[1]
Timasios: this was the man whom Eutropios brought.[2]
Greek Original:
Γαῦρος: ὁ δὲ γαῦρός τε ὢν ἀνὴρ καὶ ἀγέρωχος καὶ στρατείαις ὡμιληκὼς καὶ τοῦτο πρῶτον ἀγαθὸν ἡγούμενος, τὸ ἐν ἀνθρώποις τιμὴν καὶ δόξαν καὶ πλοῦτον ἐπικλύζοντα καὶ τὸ ἔχειν ἑαυτῷ ὅτι βούλοιτο κεχρῆσθαι καὶ ἀδεῶς διὰ μέθην νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν οὐκ εἰδέναι οὔτε ἀνατέλλοντα καὶ δυόμενον ἥλιον, ἴσα καὶ οὐρανοῦ εἶναι νομίσας τὴν μετάκλησιν, ἐκ τῶν ἀλύπων καὶ διακεχυμένων εἰς ὀλιγωρίαν διατριβῶν ἀπορρήξας ἑαυτὸν καὶ κατατείνας τὴν ψυχὴν εἰς φιλοδοξίαν βαρὺς ἀναστὰς ἐκ Παμφυλίας ἀνέστρεφε. Τιμάσιος: οὗτος ἦν, ὃν Εὐτρόπιος ἤγαγεν.
