Νέµουσι δ' οἴκους καὶ τὰ ναυστολούµενα ἔσω δόµων σῴζουσιν, οὐδ' ἐρηµίᾳ γυναικὸς οἶκος εὐπινὴς οὐδ' ὄλβιος → They manage households, and save what is brought by sea within the home, and no house deprived of a woman can be tidy and prosperous

Euripides, Melanippe Captiva, Fragment 6.11

Latin > English (Lewis & Short)

exsŭpĕrantĭa: (exup-), ae, f. exsupero,
I pre-eminence, superiority (rare but class.): an hoc non ita fit omni in populo? nonne omnem exsuperantiam virtutis oderunt? * Cic. Tusc. 5, 36, 105: ingens Scipionis (with fiducia), Gell. 4, 18, 2: splendoris vel altitudinis, id. 14, 1, 12.
