Nicomachean Ethics
The principle of proportionate mutual exchange of goods, services, or treatment, examined as a candidate account of Justice.
For in many cases Reciprocity is at variance with Justice:
Now proportionate requital is effected by diagonal conjunction.
The view is also held by some that simple Reciprocity is Justice.
Nicocles or the Cyprians
A moral and political pattern in which subjects should treat others and the king as they expect to be treated, and mutual service produces common prosperity.
Expect to fare well or ill according as you are disposed well or ill toward me.
You should be such in your dealings with others as you expect me to be in my dealings with you.
just as you think those who are ruled by you should conduct themselves toward you, so you also should conduct yourselves toward my rule.
