[5] ἵνα μὴ ἐντύφηται μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ θᾶττον ἐκλάμψῃ. 2 φθόνος δὲ ὁ ἀεὶ ταῖς μεγάλαις εὐπραγίαις ἀντίπαλος καὶ τότε πᾶσι τοῖς μέρεσιν οἰκίαν κατορθοῦσαν ἐπιθέμενος διέστησε καθ’ ἑνὸς πολλοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ἀλείψας, οἳ τῇ πρὸς ἐκεῖνον εὐνοίᾳ τοῦ πατρὸς ἰσόρροπον δύσνοιαν ἐπεδείκνυντο μισοῦντες ὅσον ἐστέργετο· τὸ δὲ μῖσος οὐκ ἐξελάλουν, ἀλλ’
ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἐταμίευον, ὅθεν εἰκότως ἀργαλεώτερον ἐφύετο· τὰ γὰρ στεγόμενα πάθη μὴ διαπνέοντα τοῖς ἐπισχοῦσι λόγοις βαρύτερα.

But envy is at all times an adversary to great good fortune, and at this time it attacked a house which was prospering in all its parts, and divided it, setting all the brothers in enmity against one, who displayed an ill feeling on their own parts, sufficient to counterbalance the affection of his father, hating their brother as much as their father loved him; but they did not divulge their hatred by words, but kept it in their own bosoms, on which account it very naturally became more grievous and bitter; for passions which are repressed, and which are not allowed to evaporate in language, are more difficult to bear.
