[73] ἐὺ φρονέων may be either (1) with good sense, opposed to “ἀφρονέων,” 15.104; or (2) with good intent, opposed to “κακῶς φρονέων”. This double meaning runs through later Greek: e.g. (1) Aisch. Prom. 385 “κέρδιστον εὖ φρονοῦντα μὴ δοκεῖν φρονεῖν”, and (2) Aisch. Ag. 1436 “Αἴγισθος ὡς τὸ πρόσθεν εὖ φρονῶν ἐμοί”.
