they say that he too met with his death by the chap.
Damis interprets the above utterance as
follows
Namely, that he was to be on his guard
against the cusp of the fish called the trygon, with
which they say Odysseus was wounded. Anyhow,
after he had occupied the throne for two years, in
succession to his father, he died through eating the
fish called the sea-hare
and this fish, according to
Damis, causes secret humours in the body worse
and more fatal than anything else either in the sea
or on land.
And Nero, he says, introduced this seahare in his dishes to poison his worst enemies and
so did Domitian in order to remove his brother
Titus, not because he objected to sharing his throne
with his brother, but to sharing it with one who was
both gentle and good. Such was their conversation
in private, after which they embraced one another
sea."
XXXIII
But the letter to Demetrius ran as follows chap.
xxxni
"Apollonius, the Philosopher, sends greetings to
Demetrius the cynic.

" I have made a
present of you to the Emperor
Titus, that you may instruct him how to behave as a
sovereign, and take care that you confirm the truth
of my words to him, and make yourself, anger

Ionia with news of what Apollonius had there said in
his conversations, and also with a sum of
money

the Acarnanian was sacrificer to Leonidas the king of
Sparta, and the Lyeian to Alexander of Macedon,
and Silanus to Cyrus the Pretender and supposing
there had been found stored in the entrails of a
human being some information truer or more
profound or surer than usual, such a sacrifice was
not difficult to effect inasmuch as there were kings
to preside over it, who had plenty of cup-bearers at
their disposal, besides plenty of prisoners of war as
victims and moreover these monarchs could violate
the law with impunity, and they had no fear of
being accused, in case they committed so small
a murder.
But I believe, these persons had the
same conviction which I also entertain, who am now
in risk of my life because of such accusation, namely
that the entrails of animals which we slay while
they are ignorant of death, are for that reason, and

render such rites useless for purposes of divination,
because it has a sense of impending death and
dying men themselves meet their end, if with
courage, then also with anger, and, if with despondency, then also with fear. And for this reason the
art of divination, except in the case of the most
ignorant savages, while recommending the slaying of
kids and lambs, because these animals are silly and
not far removed from being insensible, does not consider cocks and pigs and bulls worthy vehicles of its
mysteries, because these creatures have too much

In
there are five characters in rational discourse the philosopher, the historian, the advocate,
the writer of epistles, the commentator.
And when
these general characters have been settled, there
emerges afresh in sequence of dignity, first he who
is peculiar by reason of his own faculties or nature,
and there comes second he who is an imitator of the
best, supposing he be one of those who lack natural
endowment. But the best is both difficult to find and
difficult to appraise; consequently his own character

the dullest persons are likely to resent instruction, to
wit about country and brethren ? Nevertheless you
must be aware that it is a noble thing to regard the
whole earth as your country and all men as your
brethren and friends, seeing that they are the family
of one God, that they are of one nature, and that
there is a communion of each and all in speech, and
likewise in feelings, which is the same, no matter
how or where a man has been born, whether he is
barbarian or whether he is Hellene, so long only as
he is a man. But there is, it must be admitted, a
kinship which over-rides philosophical theory, and a
familiarity which attracts to itself everything that
shares it. So the Odysseus of Homer, as they relate,
did not prefer even immortality, when a goddess

there is not a single bird that will sleep away from

Apollonius your citizen, a Pythagorean philosopher, has made a brilliant sojourn in Hellas, and
has done much good to our young men.

expensive sacrifices, for he represents the man in
question as the richest and most distinguished of all

how could he be astonished thereat, unless he had tiiepreregarded him as a barbarian ? And in spite of his Apolloniua
having admired him for what he was, he could never
have expected him to talk Greek. In the sequel, as
