Letter 290
To the Same Person.
You have written to ask for what reason I do not stop barking. But I have signified it to you many times: it is on account of your small-mindedness and your stinginess. For you will astound me if, even on just a few occasions, you would do battle and make war against your own hatred of mankind.

Γέγραφας, τίνος χάριν οὐ παύομαι ὑλακτεῖν; Ἀλλὰ πολλάκις σεσήμαγκα, τῆς σῆς ἕνεκα μικροψυχίας, καὶ φειδωλίας· ἐκπλήξεις γάρ με, εἰ γὲ κἂν ὀλιγάκις μαχήσῃ, καὶ πολεμήσῃ τῇ οἰκείᾳ μισανθρωπίᾳ.
