Plut. Mor., Apophthegms of Kings 32 — The Apopthegms or Remarkable Sayings of Kings and Great Commanders, Plutarch; served verbatim

LYSIMACHUS. Lysimachus, when he was overcome by Dromichaetas in Thrace and constrained by thirst, surrendered himself and his army. When he was a prisoner, and had drunk; O Gods, said he, for how small a satisfaction have I made myself a slave from a king! To Philippides the comedian, his friend and companion, he said: What have I that I may impart to you? He answered, What you please, except your secrets.

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