πιθανόν, likely enough.
οἱ πολλοὶ τί φασι περὶ τοῦ Γλάδστωνος;
what do people say about Gladstone?
θαυμάζουσι αὐτὸν δικαίως ὡς δεινὸν μὲν περὶ τοὺς λόγους,
τῶν δὲ περὶ τὰς τῆς πόλεως προσόδους ἐμπειρότατον, καὶ δὴ
καὶ τῶν τε Ἰταλικῶν καὶ τῶν Ἑλληνικῶν γραμμάτων ἐπιστήμονα,
they admire him, with good reason, as a great speaker,
also as an expert and apt financier, and besides a great
Greek and Italian scholar.
ἀληθέστατα λέγεις· εἰ κατέστησαν αὐτὸν καθηγητὴν τῆς Ἑλληνικῆς
φιλολογίας ἐν τῷ τοῦ Βουπόρου πανεπιστημίῳ, οὐκ ἐλάττων ἂν ἐγένετο[6]
τοῦ Βοεκίου, τοῦ Ἑρμάννου, τοῦ Μυλλέρου, καὶ τῶν ἄλλων Γερμανῶν
ὅσοι περὶ τὴν πολυμαθίαν ἐν τοῖς πρώτοις εὐδοκιμοῦσι,
very true; if they had made him professor of Greek in the
university of Oxford, he would not have stood below Boeckh,
or Hermann, or Müller, or any of the Germans who are most
distinguished for great learning.
καὶ οὕτως γε ἐτύγχανεν ἂν εὐτυχῶς διαφυγὼν τόν
τε πολὺν θόρυβον καὶ διαφθορὰν τοῦ βίου πολιτικοῦ,
and so he might have happily escaped the great
bother and the corruption of political life.
δυνατὰ λέγεις· ὅμως οὐκ ἄν τις τυγχάνοι
διαπεφευγὼς τὴν εἱμαρμένην,
possibly; however no man can
escape his destiny.
