Headword: *kaki/a
Adler number: kappa,150
Translated headword: vice, evil
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Vices are analogous to virtues. Some [vices] are primary, others - such as imprudence, cowardice, injustice, intemperance, incontinence, slowness of understanding, ill-advisedness - are subordinated to these.[1] Vices are [part] of ignorance.[2] [This embraces] both things that share in the vices, the actions which are performed in accordance with vice, and the base people [themselves]; and the byproducts [are] despair, folly and the like.

But evil in the Apostle is the eagerness to do harm to one's neighbor.[4]

[1] For this distinction see (besides Diog. Laert.) Stobaeus, Eclogae 2.58.14 - 59.3 (ed. Wachsmuth).
[2] For the Socratic antecedent of this position (i.e. that vices are proper to or belong to ignorance or, rather, they are ignorance) see Plato, Meno 77B-78B; Gorgias 460B-D, 488A; Protagoras 352C, 355A-358A, 360D, and the Diogenes Laertius and Stobaeus passages quoted above.
