Of Archidamidas.

Archidamidas said to one commending Charilas for being kind to all alike, How can he deserve commendation, [p. 404] that is gentle to the wicked and unjust? When one was angry with Hecataeus the Sophist because when ad mitted to the public entertainment he said nothing, he said, Sir, you seem not to understand that he that knows how to speak knows also when to speak.
