Equanimity in Remaining, Departing, or Dying

Notes

1. §10.22.1ἔξω ὑπάγεις — Literally 'you go outside.' Here it implies departing from this life (likely voluntarily), i.e., suicide. It is followed by the imperfect ἤθελες (willed/wanted), indicating that this departure was a choice of one's own will.
2. §10.22.1ἀπελειτούργησας — Aorist of ἀπολειτουργέω (to discharge a public office or service). It employs the metaphor of public service (leitourgia) in ancient Greek city-states, signifying that one has fully discharged and finished one's duties and role in the drama of life.
3. §10.22.1εὐθύμει — Present imperative of εὐθυμέω (to be of good cheer, to be tranquil). It expresses the Stoic practical attitude that, no matter what circumstances or death one faces, one should remain untroubled and cheerful as long as one conforms to the order of nature and the universe.
