Meaning
Physis, Herakles and Law are praised for extensive experience. Physis’s second instance stands beside deep counsel, while Law’s accompanies primordial age and harmless dwelling among people (X.21; LXIV.10). Experience contributes informed capacity, but the adjective does not itself supply an account of what each power has learned.
