Φθόνος
Adler number: phi,509
Translated headword: envy
Vetting Status: low
Translation: An emotion of distress at the prosperity of those nearby.[1]
"[But if
envy is distress at the evident prosperity] of one of the reasonable [people], from this it is clear that he who is grieved at the prosperity of reasonable people would be [sc. called] envious [
φθονερός ]. This being given, since obviously being grieved at the prosperity of the good is alien to the virtuous man (for reasonable people [are] good), the reasonable man would not be envious."[2]
Φθόνος: πάθος λύπης ἐπὶ τῇ τῶν πέλας εὐπραγίᾳ. τῶν ἐπιεικῶν τινος. ἐκ τούτου δῆλον, ὡς καὶ φθονερὸς ἂν εἴη ὁ λυπούμενος ἐπὶ ταῖς τῶν ἐπιεικῶν εὐπραγίαις. οὗ κειμένου, ἐπεὶ προδήλως ἀλλότριον τοῦ σπουδαίου τὸ λυπεῖσθαι ἐπὶ ταῖς τῶν ἀγαθῶν εὐπραγίαις [οἱ γὰρ ἐπιεικεῖς ἀγαθοί], οὐκ ἂν εἴη ὁ ἐπιεικὴς φθονερός.
