";loving what is good"; (Tit. 1:8). In P Oxy I. 33ii. 11 (late ii/A.D.) a certain Appianus taunts an Emperor, perhaps Commodus (see P Oxy II. p. 319), by extolling the superior virtues of his predecessor Marcus Aurelius—ἄκουε, τὸ μὲν πρῶτον ἦ [ν ] φιλόσοφος, τὸ δεντερον ἀφιλάργυρος, τ [ὸ ] τίτον φιλάγαθος, ";listen; in the first place he was a lover of wisdom, secondly, he was no lover of gain, thirdly, he was a lover of virtue"; (Edd.).
For the corr. subst., which is common in the inscrr., cf. Preisigke 1106.6 (Ptol.) οἱ συνπόσιον γευόμενοι φιλαγαθίας ἕνεκεν τῆς εἰς ἑαυτούς, ib. 6117.4 (B.C. 18) φιλαγαθίας χάριν, and for the verb cf. P Tebt I. 124.17 (c. B.C. 118) ἧι ἔχομεν ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρχῆς φιλαγαθήσαντες.
