“Nay, by the gods,” said he, “I do not think I should like to employ servants that I knew served me only from compulsion. But if I had servants who I thought assisted me, as in duty bound, out of goodwill and friendship toward me, I think I should be better satisfied with them when they did wrong than with others who disliked me, when they performed all their tasks faithfully but from compulsion.”To this Tigranes replied: “From whom could you ever get such friendship as you now can from us?”“From those, I presume,” said he, “who have never been my enemies, if I would do them such favours as you now bid me do you.”
