Libanius to Basil.
You have not yet ceased to be
offended with me, and so I tremble as I write. If you
have cared, why, my
dear sir, do you not write? If you are still offended, a
thing alien from any reasonable soul and from your own, why,
while you are preaching to others, that they must not keep their
anger till sundown,3276
| 3276 cf.
Eph. iv. 27, and the passage quoted by Alford
from Plut., De Am. Frat. 488 B., to the effect that the
Pythagoreans, whenever anger had caused unkindly words, shook hands
before sundown, and were reconciled. | have you kept
yours during many suns? Peradventure you have meant to
punish me by depriving me of the sound of your sweet voice?
Nay; excellent sir, be gentle, and let me enjoy your golden
tongue.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
