for themselves and in behalf of you。 Whereas the tyrant hires his guards

one    faithful   man     is  a  commodity       more    hard   to   find  than    scores   of 

workmen   for   any   sort   of   work   you   like   to   name�撮�12�А  �and   the   more   so�察�

sake�撮�13�А�and when they have it in their power to get far more in far less 

time   by  murdering   the   despot than   they  can   hope   to   earn by  lengthened 

service in protecting him。 

     ��10�А  �Or�察   �beyond   the   sentinels   themselves   is   set   the   outpost   of   the 

laws�察�who watch the watch。;

     ��12�А   �Or�察   �but    to  discover     one    single   faithful   man     is  far   more

benefit our friends most largely�察�and beyond all else�察�to triumph over our 

foeshere�察�again�察�matters are not as you suppose。 

     How�察�for instance�察�can you hope to benefit your friends�察�when you may 

rest assured the very friend whom you have made most your debtor will be 

the happiest to quit your sight as fast as may be�拭�since nobody believes 

that anything a tyrant gives him is indeed his own�察�until he is well beyond 

the donor's jurisdiction。 

     So much for friends�察�and as to enemies conversely。 How can you say 

;most power of triumphing over our enemies�察─�when every tyrant knows 

full well they are all his enemies�察�every man of them�察�who are despotically 

ruled by him�拭�And to put the whole of them to death or to imprison them 

is   hardly   possible�察  �or   who   will   be   his   subjects   presently�拭  �Not   so�察  �but

he is in a strait�察�it is ill work to see them living and ill work to put them to 

the death。 Just as might happen with a horse�察�a noble beast�察�but there is 

that   in  him   makes     one    fear  he   will  do   some    mischief     presently    past

     Now when he had heard these reasonings�察�Simonides replied�此�O Hiero�察�

there is a potent force�察�it would appear�察�the name of which is honour�察�so 

attractive that human beings strain to grasp it�撮�1�А�and in the effort they will 

undergo all pains�察�endure all perils。 It would further seem that even you�察�

you   tyrants�察 �in   spite   of   all   that sea   of   trouble   which   a   tyranny  involves�察�

rush headlong in pursuit of it。 You must be honoured。 All the world shall 

be    your    ministers�察   �they   shall   carry   out   your    every    injunction    with 

unhestitating zeal。��2�А�You shall be the cynosure of neighbouring eyes�察�men 

shall rise from their seats at your approach�察�they shall step aside to yield 

you passage in the streets。��3�А�All present shall at all times magnify you�撮�4�А�

and shall pay homage to you both with words and deeds。 Those�察�I take it�察�
