Plut. Mor., Apophthegms of Kings 35 — The Apopthegms or Remarkable Sayings of Kings and Great Commanders, Plutarch; served verbatim

ANTIOCHUS HIERAX. Antiochus, surnamed the Hawk, warred with his brother Seleucus for the kingdom. After Seleucus was overcome by the Galatians, and was not to be heard of, but supposed to be slain in the fight, he laid aside his purple and went into mourning. A while after, hearing his brother was safe, he sacrificed to the Gods for the good news, and caused the cities under his dominion to put on garlands.

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