Quanti: genitive of price. hoc: i.e., this separation of faithful and faithless friends. integer: "unimpaired, intact," i.e., before his fall from power. querere: imperative, ironic (cf. similar expression at 2M3.15-16). quod . . . genus est: see on 2P3.5. Cf. Cicero, De amicitia 6.20: Est enim amicitia nihil aliud nisi omnium divinarum humanarumque rerum cum benevolentia et caritate consensio; qua quidem haud scio an excepta sapientia nihil melius homini sit a dis immortalibus datum. Divitias alii praeponunt, bonam alii valetudinem, alii potentiam, alii honores, multi etiam voluptates. "For friendship is nothing less than the harmony of divine and human affairs through generosity and esteem. I know no better gift granted to men by the immortal gods than friendship, except wisdom. Some prefer riches, some good health, some power, some high office ÄÄ many even prefer pleasure."
Consolatio Philosophiae, A Commentary. James J. O'Donnell. edited for Perseus. Ariane Schwartz.
