θάνατος οὐθὲν πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ἐπειδήπερ ὅταν μὲν ἡμεῖς ὦμεν, ὁ θάνατος οὐ πάρεστιν, ὅταν δὲ ὁ θάνατος παρῇ, τόθ' ἡμεῖς οὐκ ἐσμέν. → Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

Epicurus, Letter to Menoeceus

Russian (Dvoretsky)

ἀτέκμαρτον: adv. неопределенно, без определенных оснований, наудачу (προνοῆσαι Pind.).
