Notes:
[1] For the headword, a feminine noun, cf. (e.g.) under
epsilon 2608,
nu 358,
pi 2658, and see generally LSJ s.v. I. In the present context it is presumably generated by the instance (accusative case) in the quotation given; no equivalent entry in other lexica.
[2] An approximation of Marcus Aurelius,
Meditations 1.16, transforming the emperor's particular comments about his (adoptive) father into general advice for good living.
