Headword: *parai/nesis
Adler number: pi,499
Translated headword: admonition
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] good counsel.[1]
Admonition differs from counsel: for admonition is admonitory speech that does not admit contradiction; as is the case if someone were to say that it is necessary to honor the divine; for no one opposes this admonition, unless he first went mad. But counsel is deliberative speech that does admit contradiction; as is the case if someone were to say that it is necessary to go to war, for many are the profits from war; but another person might say the opposite, that it is not necessary to go to war, for many are the consequences from war, such as defeat, being taken captive, wounds, destruction of cities.[2]

Notes:
[1] cf. pi 511 for the general view that parainesis and symboule are synonyms. It is challenged, however, in the rest of the entry: see next note.
