Plut. Mor., Apophthegms of Kings 34 — The Apopthegms or Remarkable Sayings of Kings and Great Commanders, Plutarch; served verbatim

ANTIOCHUS THE THIRD. Antiochus the Third wrote to the cities, that if he should at any time write for any thing to be done contrary to the law, they should not obey, but suppose it to be done out of ignorance. When he saw the Priestess of Diana, that she was exceeding beautiful, he presently removed from Ephesus, lest he should be swayed, contrary to his judgment, to commit some unholy act.

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