Headword: *xrh=sis
Adler number: chi,500
Translated headword: use
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
"Use" [xrh=sis] is said [to be] the service of some useful things, but "useful" [xrh/sima] is said particularly of the instruments of good things. So of these, the uses [are] preferred, and [useful things] themselves are preferred; for if the use of wealth is preferred to the use of strength, then wealth [is] preferred to strength.
