Section 268 of 882
Canonical reference 1.7.27
Ancient Greek
καὶ ὡς ἂν ἓν τῶν συστοίχων καὶ τῶν ὁμοίων πτώσεων, καὶ τἆλλʼ ἀκολουθεῖ, οἷον εἰ τὸ ἀνδρείως κάλλιον καὶ αἱρετώτερον τοῦ σωφρόνως, καὶ ἀνδρεία σωφροσύνης αἱρετωτέρα καὶ τὸ ἀνδρεῖον εἶναι τοῦ σωφρονεῖν.
English
J. H. Freese, 1926
And things in all cases follow the relations between coordinates and similar inflections; for instance, if courageously is nobler than and preferable to temperately, then courage is preferable to temperance, and it is better to be courageous than temperate.

Et, dans tous les cas, les choses suivent les relations entre les termes coordonnés et les formes dérivées semblables. Par exemple, si agir courageusement est plus noble et préférable qu’agir avec tempérance, alors le courage est préférable à la tempérance, et il vaut mieux être courageux que tempérant.
