14 Text |       knew that the character of Dion’s mind was naturally a stable
15 Text |  friendship and comradeship with Dion, who in very truth was in
16 Text |    sovereign ill-feeling against Dion. I combated these as far
17 Text |         or thereabouts, charging Dion with conspiracy to seize
18 Text |     ignominy. All of us who were Dion’s friends were afraid that

27 Text | Dionysios had gone through, when Dion attempted first to educate
28 Text |      slanders to the effect that Dion was aiming at the tyranny
29 Text |        an Athenian and friend of Dion, came as his ally to the
30 Text |        giving a decent colour to Dion’s expulsion a witness and
31 Text |          attempt. Later on, when Dion returned from exile, he

36 Text |         tried to teach, first to Dion, secondly to Dionysios,
37 Text |         the lot of Dionysios and Dion, of whom the one who disobeyed

41 Text |       his friends, to imitate in Dion his love for his country
42 Text |    follows the manner of life of Dion’s murderers and of the Sicilians,
43 Text |     course is akin to that which Dion and I attempted to carry
44 Text |         relatives and friends of Dion. After those events I persuaded
45 Text |       himself, he would send for Dion and me again; and he desired
46 Text |       again; and he desired that Dion should regard what had befallen
47 Text |        for me; he requested that Dion should wait for another
48 Text |        should by all means come. Dion now kept urging and entreating
49 Text |      philosophy. For this reason Dion pressed me urgently not
50 Text |          company altogether with Dion and Dionysios; and I offended
51 Text |   received some instruction from Dion, and others had learnt from

66 Text |         approved by you, and let Dion enjoy the income from them
67 Text |        you. I am quite sure that Dion will be grateful to you,
68 Text |     writes a plausible letter to Dion, and orders several of his
69 Text |         and completely neglected Dion’s interests. Further, suppose
70 Text |          word of these things to Dion, stating the position in
