[59] οὗτος ὁ ὅρος ἐστὶ τοῦ μεγάλου λεώ, τὸ τῷ θεῷ συνεγγίζειν ἢ „ᾧ θεὸς συνεγγίζει“. ὁ μὲν δὴ κόσμος καὶ ὁ κοσμοπολίτης σοφὸς πολλῶν καὶ μεγάλων
ἀγαθῶν ἀναπέπλησται, ὁ δὲ ἄλλος ἀνθρώπων ὅμιλος πλείοσι μὲν κέχρηται κακοῖς, ἀγαθοῖς δὲ ἐλάττοσι· σπάνιον γὰρ ἐν πεφυρμένῳ καὶ συγκεχυμένῳ βίῳ τὸ καλόν.

[59] This is the definition of great, to be near to God, or at least to be near to that thing to which God is near; forsooth the world and the wise citizen of the world are both full of many ¹ and great good things, but all the rest of the multitude of men is involved in numerous evils, and in but few good things; for the good is rare in the agitated and confused life of man.
