Headword:
Κρείττονος
Adler number: kappa,2379
Translated headword: superior
Vetting Status: low
Translation: [Of] god. "No doubt on the basis of some forethought of the superior, Caesar, aiming at what would be advantageous, was accomplishing the things of this kind".[1]
Greek Original:Κρείττονος: τοῦ θεοῦ. προνοίᾳ δὲ δή τινι τοῦ κρείττονος στοχαζόμενος τοῦ συνοίσοντος τὰ τοιάδε ἐπετέλει ὁ Καῖσαρ.
Notes:
The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given (though see next note), is the genitive singular of
κρείττων ; cf.
kappa 2381.
[1] Adler did not attribute this quotation. With the help of the TLG it can now be identified as a fragment of
Menander Protector,
De legationibus (section 12) -- but lacking the present headword! The 'Caesar' in question is
Tiberius II.
