-ας,
ἡ, (
αὐτάρκης, which see),
a perfect condition of life, in which no aid or support is needed; equivalent to
τελειότης κτήσεως ἀγαθῶν, Plato, def., p. 412 b.; often in Aristotle, [defined by him (pol. 7, 5 at the beginning, p. 1326
b, 29) as follows:
τὸ πάντα ὑπάρχειν κ.
δεῖσθαι μηθενὸς αὐτάρκες; cf. Bp. Lightfoot on
Philippians 4:11); hence,
a sufficiency of the necessaries of life:
2 Corinthians 9:8; subjectively,
a mind contented with its lot, contentment:
1 Timothy 6:6; (Diogenes Laërtius 10, 130).
