Adler number: phi,677

[Meaning a] man.[1]
For not only does "great risk not get hold of a feeble man", as Pindar says,[2] but the great man undertakes no small contest; rather, where other exiles run off because of unmanliness, here [the great man] taking risks ventures in, "where men's valour is discerned",[3] according to the Poet.[4]
