Plut. Mor., Laconic Apophthegms 7 — Laconic Apophthegms; or Remarkable Sayings of the Spartans, Plutarch; served verbatim

Of Agis the Last. Agis, the last king of Lacedaemon, being taken and condemned by the Ephors without hearing, as he was led to the gallows, saw one of the officers weeping. Do not weep for me, he said, who, being so unjustly, so barbarously condemned, am in a better condition than my murderers. And having spoken thus, he quietly submitted himself to the halter.

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