The Rights of War and Peace
Historian and recorder of Epictetus's discourses, cited on the nature of a debt.
On this topic, Arrian in Epictetus argues rightly, that the borrowing of money is not the only requisite to make a debt, but there must be the additional circumstance of the loan remaining undischarged.
Arrian is justly commended for censuring the vengeance retorted upon the Persians by Alexander, at a time, when those, who had committed the original aggressions on the Greeks, had long been laid in their graves.
Arrian relates the same of the Macedonians, when they took the city of Thebes.
