"Prze-pisywanie jednego i tego samego zdania okazuje się więc (przynajmniej w tej interpretacji Dżumy) nie tylko przejawem akrybii, obsesji doskonałości i samokrytycyzmu, ale też zapisem dynamiki ludzkiej egzystencji."

acriby / acribia
There are two options when translating this word:
1) use a more common and more understandable word,
2) stick to a cognate term.
Personally, I would use 'acribia' or 'acriby' in this case (as obscure and incomprehensible to an Engilsh native-apeaker as 'akrybia' to Polish).

acribia // exactness, minuteness, precision, scrupulousness, rigorous accuracy
This word is very rarely used in Polish. It is a specialized term used by academics or linguists. Common people would most likely not know what it means.
