Orontes, the son-in-law of King Artaxerxes, became involved in disgrace because of an accusation, [*] and, when the decision was given against him, he said that, as mathematicians fingers are able to represent tens of thousands at one time, and at another

time only units,[*] so it was the same with the friends of kings: at one time they are omnipotent and at another time almost impotent. [*]
