Carter's translation is inaccurate.

[byronpendason]

If you compare what you have to what is in the archived copy of Carter's translation at archive.org, you will see that the Carter translation you have isn't faithful to her translation. Carter's translation is available here though: https://livingstoicism.com/2023/05/12/the-enchiridion-or-manual-of-epictetus-by-elizabeth-carter-1758/

I have attached a copy of her translation.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

That livingstoicism website doesn't look very authoritative. But ouch, archive.org most definitely does!

Looking at the source at https://archive.org/details/moraldiscourseso017352mbp/page/n283/mode/2up and trying to find a better one, I only managed to find https://archive.org/details/TheWorksOfEpictetus4thEditionElizabethCarter1807/page/n665/mode/2up which is the same as the one you linked.

I've reached out to the MIT people to find out what's up with https://classics.mit.edu/Epictetus/epicench.html

Did you ever receive an answer from MIT?

I know there's no reason to trust the livingstoicism website, which was why I referenced the archive.org archive. I linked to the livingstoicism website because it was in text, and it matches the archived copy.
