Canonical reference 2.11.5

Ancient Greek

φανερὸν δὲ καὶ οἱ ζηλωτοὶ τίνες· οἱ γὰρ ταῦτα καὶ τὰ τοιαῦτα κεκτημένοι ζηλωτοί· ἔστι δὲ ταῦτα τὰ εἰρημένα, οἷον ἀνδρεία σοφία ἀρχή (οἱ γὰρ ἄρχοντες πολλοὺς δύνανται εὖ ποιεῖν), στρατηγοί, ῥήτορες, πάντες οἱ τὰ τοιαῦτα δυνάμενοι.

English

J. H. Freese, 1926

It is also evident who are the objects of emulation; for they are those who possess these or similar goods, such as have already been spoken of, for instance, courage, wisdom, authority; for those in authority, such as generals, orators, and all who have similar powers, can do good to many.

On voit aussi clairement quelles personnes sont les objets de l’émulation. Ce sont celles qui possèdent ces biens ou des biens semblables, tels que ceux dont nous avons déjà parlé, par exemple le courage, la sagesse et l’autorité. Car ceux qui détiennent l’autorité, tels que les généraux, les orateurs et tous ceux qui possèdent des pouvoirs semblables, peuvent faire du bien à beaucoup de gens.
