One Polybius, an uneducated man whose grammar was very defective, once informed him that he had received Roman citizenship from the Emperor. Why did he not make you a Greek instead?’ asked Demonax.

Seeing a decorated person very proud of his broad stripe, he whispered in his ear, while he took hold of and drew attention to the cloth, This attire did not make its original wearer anything but a sheep.’
