The most convincing proof of the character and uprightness of Evagoras is this—that many of the most reputable Greeks left their own fatherlands and came to Cyrus to dwell, because they considered Evagoras's rule less burdensome and more equitable than that of their own governments at home.1 To mention all the others by name would be too great a task:
1 E.g., Andocides, the Athenian orator, who had an estate in Cyprus （cf. Andoc. 1.4）, and other Greeks who were forced into exile.
Isocrates. Isocrates with an English Translation in three volumes, by George Norlin, Ph.D., LL.D. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1980.
