Now a fine tribute, a just return.1 Please
make me this recompense. Neither allow yourself to be led by one of those whose judgement
is inferior to your own nor submit to them, but try to bring those men around to your way
of thinking, and so conduct yourself that we may not have to give up any of our judgements
of you that were assumed to be true, but that for Epitimus some deliverance may be found
and release from his perils. I too shall be on hand at whatever time you shall say is the
fitting moment. Send me a written message or rather command me as a friend. Farewell.
1 This looks like a proverbial expression. The reference is either to a favor conferred by Demosthenes and not mentioned here or to the good opinion he claims to have expressed.
Demosthenes with an English translation by Norman W. DeWitt, Ph.D., and Norman J. DeWitt, Ph.D. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1949.
