Letter 255: Your love has made you a slanderer -- you think nobody is anything compared to me.
Εὐθηρίῳ. (358/59)
Συκοφάντην σε τὸ ἐρᾶν πεποίηκε καὶ πάντας πλὴν ἐμοῦ
νομίζεις οὐδέν. ἔστι δὲ ὁμοίως ἄτοπον καὶ φαύλους ἐπαινεῖν
καὶ μὴ θαυμάζειν τοὺς ἀγαθούς. Ἀκάκιον δὲ μὴ νομίζων ἴνα
τῶν περὶ τὸν Ἑρμῆν ἐμέ τε λυπεῖς καὶ πρὸ ἐμοῦ τὸν θεόν
οὔκουν ἐκβαλοῦμεν ἅττα ἔχει μαθὼν παρ’ ἐκείνου Φιλόπα-
τρις, ἀλλ’ ἐποικοδομεῖν πειρασόμεθα καὶ δέξεται λόγους τοῖς
ἔμπροσθεν ἀδελφούς.
