Again, what frightens some of youthat his wealth will attract a large mercenary armydoes not strike me as true. For although I believe that many Greeks would consent to serve in his pay against the Egyptians and Orontes[*] and other barbarians, not so much to enable him to subdue any of those enemies as to win for themselves wealth and relief from their present poverty, yet I do not think that any Greek would attack Greece. For where would he retire afterwards? Will he go to Phrygia and be a slave?
