Strona 356 z 734

The faculty called γνώμη,[40] in right of which we call men

εὐγνώμονες, or say they have γνώμη, is "the right judgment of the

equitable man." A proof of which is that we most commonly say

that the equitable man has a tendency to make allowance, and the

making allowance in certain cases is equitable. And συγγνώμη (the

word denoting allowance) is right γνώμη having a capacity of

making equitable decisions, By "right" I mean that of the

Truthful man.
