- deep in counsel; thoughtful
Meaning
Physis is περίφρων beside experience and the bringing of motion (X.21). In this praise-sequence it commends intelligence or resourceful thought. The unfavourable “overweening” possible in other uses is not demanded here; that would conflict with the immediate orientation of the address.
