 sofia is certainly the highest word of all these. It is properly
 wisdom.  It denotes mental excellence in the highest and fullest
 sense, expressing an attitude as well as an act of the mind.
 It comprehends knowledge and implies goodness, including the striving
 after the highest ends, as well as the using of the best means for
 their attainment. It is never ascribed to any one but God and good
 men, except in a plainly ironical sense.

 fronhsiv is a middle term, sometimes having a meaning nearly as
 high as sofia, sometimes much lower. It means prudence,
 intelligence, a skillful adaptation of the means to the end
 desired, the end, however, not being necessarily a good one.

 gnwsiv is knowledge, cognition, the understanding of facts or
 truths, or else insight, discernment.

 epignwsiv has an intensive meaning as compared with gnwsiv, it
 is a fuller, clearer, more thorough knowledge. The verb epiginwskw
 has the same intensive force as compared with ginwskw.
