Letter 142: To the same person. (359/60)

To the same man. (359/60) Chryses too is worthy of consideration, both on account of his character and on account of his kinsmen. For his disposition is gentle, and his cousins are friends both to me and to you, and among the foremost in the city. I mean Letoius the Letoius worthy to be named in the same breath as Cynegius, men whom Chryses would put to shame if he should suffer anything contrary to his deserts, and that while you hold the office. If, then, he is being insulted, when you have learned of it put a stop to the insult.

**To the same correspondent.** (359/60) Chryses, too, deserves your care, both on account of his character and his family connections. For his disposition is gentle, and his cousins are friends both to me and to you, and men of the first rank in the city. I mean Letoius and Cynegius, whom Chryses puts to shame if he suffers anything beneath his dignity — especially while you hold office. Learn, then, in what way he is being mistreated, and put a stop to the outrage.

Τῷ αὐτῷ. (359/60) Καὶ Χρύσης προνοίας ἄξιος τρόπων τε ἕνεκα καὶ συγ- γενῶν. ὅ τε γὰρ τρόπος ἡσύχιος οἴ τε ἀνεψιοὶ φίλοι τε ἐμοὶ καὶ σοὶ κἀν τῇ πόλει τὰ πρῶτα. Λητόϊον Λητόΐον λέγω τὸν τὸν ἄξιον ἀκοῦσαι ταὐτὸ Κυνήγιον, οὓς αἰσχύνει Χρύσης, εἴ τι παρὰ τὴν ἀξίαν ὑπομένει καὶ ταῦτα σοῦ τὴν ἀρχὴν ἔχον- τος. ἐν οὖν οὖν ὑβρίζεται μαθὼν στῆσον τὴν ὕβριν.
