Plut. Mor., Apophthegms of Kings 67 — The Apopthegms or Remarkable Sayings of Kings and Great Commanders, Plutarch; served verbatim

NICOSTRATUS. Archidamus, general of the Argives, enticed Nicostratus to betray a fort, by promises of a great sum, and the marriage of what Lacedaemonian lady he pleased except the king’s daughters. He answered, that Archidamus was none of the offspring of Hercules, for he went about to punish wicked men, but Archidamus to corrupt honest men.

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