Help With Greek Passage

Greek Learning Greek

Hello,

I am trying to decipher a small piece of Greek located here (near the page bottom):

https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=jnZE_zao8_EC&hl=en&hl=en&pg=GBS.PA129

Here is my attempt: τὸ Μαϰάιον, καὶ Άφθαρτον οὔτ ἀυτὸ πεάγματα ἔχει, οὔτε ἄλλῳ παρέχει

Not sure if ligatures are being used. Any help appreciated.

Best,
Dave

τὸ Μακάριον, καὶ Ἄφθαρτον οὔτε αὐτὸ πράγματα ἔχει, οὔτε ἄλλῳ παρέχει. The Latin following translates it, as you probably guessed.

Awesome, thanks.

Looks like passge comes from Principal Doctrines, 1 Epicurus The Principal Doctrines are forty short sayings by Epicurus. They are meant to serve as a pithy summary of the key elements of Epicurus’ philosophical system. … The Principal Doctrines survive because they are quoted by the ancient writer Diogenes Laertius in his Lives and Sayings of Eminent Philosophers.

“Τὸ μακάριον καὶ ἄφθαρτον οὔτε αὐτὸ πράγματα ἔχει οὔτε ἄλλῳ παρέχει”

The Greek word μάκαρ, translated here as “blissful”, could also be translated as “blessed” or as “completely happy”. Complete translation:

Complete translation: That which is blissful and immortal has no troubles itself, nor does it cause trouble for others, so that it is not affected by anger or gratitude (for all such things come about through weakness). (source https://lexundria.com/epic_kd/1/psa#n1)

Thanks again, Dave
