Headword:
Autokakon

tôide
Adler number: alpha,4494
Translated headword: he seemed evil itself to him
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] extremely and to the point of excess he seemed to him well-disposed.
Greek Original:Autokakon eoike tôide: akrôs kai kath' huperbolên eoike tôide eunous.
Note:
The headword phrase is taken to come from comedy:
Comica adespota fr. 658 Kock, now 559 K.-A. The glossing comes from
Phrynichus (
Praeparatio sophistica fr. 279), but the final and nonsensical 'well-disposed' has strayed in from somewhere else.
Keywords: comedy; ethics
