Against a person who showed his partizanship in an
unseemly way in a theatre.
THE governor of Epirus having shown his favour to an
actor in an unseemly way and being publicly blamed on
this account, and afterwards having reported to Epictetus
that he was blamed and that he was vexed at those who
blamed him, Epictetus said, What harm have they been
doing? These men also were acting as partizans, as you
were doing. The governor replied, Does then any person
show his partizanship in this way? When they see you,
said Epictetus, who are their governor, a friend of Caesar
and his deputy, showing partizanship in this way, was it
not to be expected that they also should show their partizanship in the same way? for if it is not right to show
partizanship in this way, do not do so yourself; and if it is
right, why are you angry if they followed your example?
For whom have the many to imitate except you, who are
their superiors? to whose example should they look when
they go to the theatre exce
