[49]
“There are in Greece men so
mild and humane in disposition that though they have often been wronged by you,
and though they have inherited a natural hostility towards you, yet they permit
no insult to be offered even to the men whom they have bought for a price and
keep as their slaves. Nay, they have publicly established this law forbidding
such insult, and they have already punished many of the transgressors with
death.”
