Plut. Mor., Apophthegms of Kings 24 — The Apopthegms or Remarkable Sayings of Kings and Great Commanders, Plutarch; served verbatim

DION. Dion, that deposed Dionysius from the tyranny, when he heard Callippus, whom of all his friends and attendants he trusted most, conspired against him, refused to question him for it, saying: It is better for him to die than to live, who must be weary not only of his enemies, but of his friends too.

The Greek stands ready in the workroom; the English is served. Both faces will read together.
