Note 2 — Chapter IV
T. W. (Thomas William) Rolleston translation
Would that I had you with me!—In Long’s translation the pronoun you is explained to mean God. I can see no reason for this interpretation. The words are, I think, supposed to be uttered by a disciple to his master: they are such as Epictetus may have heard from many of his own disciples as they left him to take their part in the world of action.
