Letter 163: ...claims he has been wronged by you, and has added an oath to the charge.

To Eudaemon. (359/60) [...] he says that he has been wronged by you, and he added an oath. I therefore grieved with him as one who had suffered ill, and with you as one who had done the deed. Plato, however, would have said that one ought rather to grieve with you than with him. So then we have dissuaded the man from his accusation, but as for your being praised by him in the time to come, you yourself are master of that.

**To Eudaemon** (359/60) Baleys says he has been wronged by you, and he has sworn an oath to it. I felt sympathy, then — for him as the one who suffered the injury, and for you as the one who inflicted it. Plato, of course, would have said that you deserve more sympathy than he does. I have dissuaded the man from pressing his accusation. But whether he praises you hereafter — that is in your hands.

Εὐδαίμονι. (359/60) βάλῃς ἠδικῆσθαί φησιν ὑπὸ σοῦ καὶ ἐπήγαγεν ὅρκον. συνηχθέσθην οὖν τῷ μὲν ὡς παθόντι κακῶς, σοὶ δὲ ὡς ποιὴ- σαντι. Πλατῶν δέ γε σοὶ μᾶλλον ἂν ἔφησεν ἢ ’κείνῳ συν- άχθεσθαι. τῆς μὲν οὖν κατηγορίας τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἀπεστή- σαμεν, τοῦ δ’ ἐπαινεῖσθαί σε πρὸς τὸ λοιπὸν ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ σὺ κυριος.
