that the players at funerals were called flute-players.

So Timocrates went and gave his money, at Thebes to Androcleidas, Ismenias, and Galaxidorus;

but now that this stroke has been accomplished, there is no need of your fearing the Thebans;

whereas now, as you see, proclamation has been made forbidding any Theban from serving with you against the Olynthians.

Do you know, said I, to whom I think the saying belongs—this statement that it is just to benefit friends and harm enemies?
