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