Scholium — Part III

Latin

Conatus malum inferendi ei quem odimus ira vocatur; conatus autem malum nobis illatum referendi vindicta appellatur.

English (Elwes 1883)

The endeavour to injure one whom we hate is called Anger; the endeavour to repay in kind injury done to ourselves is called Revenge.

Modern English

The *conatus* to inflict harm on one we hate is called anger. The *conatus* to repay harm done to us is called revenge.
