Note 2 — LXI Here it is told of the philosopher Socrates, and how he answered the Greeks
Edward Storer translation
They showed him the decision of Rome, and said to him: we shall set our reasonable arguments, which are many, before you. Your own sense will ensure our rights. And know that we obey a rich master: you will take these perperi2 which are many, and yet for our lord are nothing, though to you they may be very useful.
