τοῖς πράγμασιν γὰρ οὐχὶ θυμοῦσθαι χρεών· μέλει γὰρ αὐτοῖς οὐδέν· ἀλλ' οὑντυγχάνων τὰ πράγματ' ὀρθῶς ἂν τιθῇ, πράξει καλῶς → It does no good to rage at circumstance; events will take their course with no regard for us. But he who makes the best of those events he lights upon will not fare ill.

Greek (Liddell-Scott)

ἐπόπτευσις: -εως, ἡ, ἐξέτασις, νεκυομαντεῖαι μὲν γὰρ καὶ ἀδιαφθόρων παίδων ἐποπτεύσεις, περὶ τῆς ἐξετάσεως τῶν ἐντοσθίων ἀδιαφθόρων παίδων χάριν μαγικῶν σκοπῶν (πρβλ. Σωκρ. 3.13 λέγοντα: «παῖδας καταθύειν ἀφθόρους ἄρρενας καὶ θηλείας»), Ἰουστίνου Μάρτ. Ἀπολ. 1. 18.
