Ancient Greek
p. 314Ὑπομενετὰ ἐμμενετὰ καὶ τὰ ἐναντία
Λέγουσι δὲ ὁμοίως καὶ τἀγαθὰ πάντα εἶναι ὑπομενετὰ καὶ ἐμμενετὰ καὶ ἀνάλογον ἐπὶ τῶν ἄλλων ἀρετῶν, εἰ καὶ μὴ κατωνόμασται· τὰ δὲ ὠφελήματα πάντα ὑπομενετέα καὶ ἐμμενετέα καὶ τὰ ὅμοια. Ὡσαύτως δὲ διαφέρειν ὑπολαμβάνουσι καὶ τὰ εὐλαβητὰ καὶ τὰ εὐλαβητέα καὶ ἀνυπομενετὰ καὶ ἀνυπομενετέα. Τῶν δ’ ἄλλων τῶν κατὰ τὰς κακίας ὁ αὐτὸς λόγος.

p. 315Enduring Holding To and Their Opposites
Similarly, they say that all goods are worthy of being endured and held to, and the analogy applies to the other virtues, even if they have not been named. All benefits are to be endured and held to, and the like.412 They likewise understand a difference between what is worthy of caution and what is to be guarded against, and between what is unworthy of being endured and what is not to be endured. The same account applies to the other cases concerning the vices.413
