Plut. Mor., Apophthegms of Kings 33 — The Apopthegms or Remarkable Sayings of Kings and Great Commanders, Plutarch; served verbatim

ANTIPATER. Antipater, hearing that Parmenio was slain by Alexander, said: If Parmenio conspired against Alexander, whom may we trust? but if he did not, what is to be done? Of Demades the rhetorician, now grown old, be said: As of sacrifices when finished, so there is nothing left of him but his belly and tongue.

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