§22.16.1βασιλέα καὶ θ?ε?ω?ν? α?ι?μ?α? τοῦτον λέγοντες καταχρώμενοι τ?ε?υ?ξ?ε?σ?θ?α?ι? τινος ἐλέους καὶ συγγνώμης ἐπὶ τῳ σασθαι τ?ο?ν? β?α?σ?ι?λεα ων γε μὴν καὶ βασιλικώτερος.
...calling him a king and of the blood of gods, and taking advantage of this in the hope of obtaining some mercy and pardon... toward the king... he himself being even more kingly.
ονων ων ἀθετηθῆναι γὰρ υ?φ? ε?τ?ε?ρων κ?ρ?ε?ι?τ?τ?ον ἦν ἢ πρότερον αὐτὸν ἀθετεῖν τὰς πίστεις καὶ μὴν ἀδικεῖσθαι μᾶλλον η και 〈ανου〉ς φασιν συμπάσχειν τοις αδικοις π ἔγγιστα τῆς θείας φυσεως εἶναι, νους τυγχάνειν τιμῶν η υ?π? θεὸς γὰρ οὐδεὶς πρότερος κακῶς ποιεῖ τοὺς ανους τα? του προς ς θαυμάζουσι μὲν πάντες Φίλιππον διὰ τὴν ορ
For it was better to be betrayed by others than to be the first to break one's pledge, and indeed to suffer injustice rather than... they say that men sympathize with those who suffer injustice... to be closest to the divine nature... for no god is the first to do harm to men... everyone admires Philip for his...
§22.16.2ς μεγαλοψυχίαν ὅτι κακῶς οὐ μόνον ἀκούων, ἀλλὰ καὶ πάσχων ὑπʼ Ἀθηναίων, νικήσας αὐτοὺς τὴν περὶ Χαιρώνειαν μάχην τοσοῦτον ἀπέσχε τοῦ χρήσασθαι τῷ καιρῷ πρὸς τὴν κατὰ τῶν ἐχθρῶν βλάβην ὥστε τοὺς μὲν τεθνεῶτας τῶν Ἀθηναίων κηδεύσας ἔθαψε, τοὺς δʼ αἰχμαλώτους χωρὶς λύτρων προσαμφιέσας ἐξαπέστειλε τοῖς ἀναγκαίοις·
...magnanimity; because, although he was not only ill-spoken of but also ill-treated by the Athenians, when he defeated them in the battle of Chaeronea, he so far refrained from using the opportunity to harm his enemies that he buried the Athenian dead with due ceremony, and sent the captives back to their relatives, not only without ransom but even having provided them with clothing.
§22.16.3μιμοῦνται δʼ ἥκιστα τὴν τοιαύτην προαίρεσιν, ἁμιλλῶνται δὲ τοῖς θυμοῖς καὶ ταῖς τιμωρίαις πρὸς τούτους, οἷς πολεμοῦσι τούτων αὐτῶν ἕνεκα.
But they least of all imitate such a policy; instead, they vie with those they are at war with in anger and vengeance for these very things.
§22.16.4πλὴν ὅγε Πτολεμαῖος δήσας τοὺς ἀνθρώπους γυμνοὺς ταῖς ἁμάξαις εἷλκε καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα τιμωρησάμενος ἀπέκτεινεν. —
Except indeed Ptolemy, who bound the men naked to his chariots and dragged them, and after that tortured and killed them.
