Headword:
Anthrôpos
Adler number: alpha,2535
Translated headword: human, man
Vetting Status: high
Translation: "The race of humans, which gives the impression of being the most resourceful of all creatures, has good reason to be [considered] the basest. For all other creatures are slaves to their bodily desires and err because of these alone; but the race of humans, for all its good reputation, sins no less because of lack of thought than because of nature."[1]

Notes:
The unglossed headword, masculine nominative singular, is presumably generated by its genitive plural(s) in the quotation.
