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

Greek Monolingual

(ΑM μαγαλαυχῶ), -έω) μεγάλαυχος
καυχιέμαι, κομπάζω, υπερηφανεύομαι (α. «ἡ γλώσσα μικρὸν μέλος ἐστὶ καὶ μεγαλαυχεῑ», ΚΔ
β. «κατὰ πάντα δὴ ταῦτα σύ γε μεγαλαυχούμενος», Πλάτ.)
μσν.-αρχ.
(με αιτ.) θεωρώ κάτι ως καύχημα («παρὰ γὰρ τῆς ἐμῆς ταπεινώσεως οὐδὲν ὄφελος κἂν αὐτὸς μεγαλαυχῇς ἡμᾱς ἐξ ἀγάπης», Στουδ. Θεόδ.).
