ὑπερφρονέω, “fam high-minded” (Rom 12%), may be illustrated from Aristeas 122, where the LXX translators are praised as “cultivating the due mean” (τὸ μέσον ἐζηλωκότες κατάστημα), and being above conceit and the assuming of an air of superiority over others—@oteBepévor . . . τὸ κατοίεσθαι kal νομίζειν ὑπερφρονεῖν ἑτέρους ὑπερβεβηκότες.
