[269] μαρτυρεῖ δὲ τὸ μὲν κάλλος τοῦ σώματος ἔρως ὃς ἐξέμηνεν p. 79 Μ. ἐπ’ αὐτῷ γυναῖκα, τὴν δὲ σύνεσιν ἡ ἐν ταῖς ἀμυθήτοις τῶν κατὰ τὸν βίον ἀνωμαλίαις ὁμαλότης εὐαρμοστίαν τοῖς ἀναρμόστοις καὶ συμφωνίαν τοῖς ἐξ

Translations (1)

On the Life of a Man occupied with Affairs of State, or on Joseph First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 2. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 269 focus

[269] The beauty of his person is testified to by the violent love with which he inflamed the wife of the eunuch; his wisdom by the evenness of his conduct in the indescribable variety of circumstances that attended the whole of his life, by which he wrought regularity among things that were irregular, and harmony among things that were discordant. His eloquence of speech is displayed in his interpretation of the dreams, in his affability in ordinary conversation, and by the persuasion which followed his words; in consequence of which his subjects all obeyed him cheerfully and voluntarily, rather than from any compulsion.
