[330b]
“As a
moneymaker, I hold a place somewhere halfway between my grandfather and my
father. For my grandfather and namesake1 inherited about
as much property as I now possess and multiplied it many times, my father
Lysanias reduced it below the present amount, and I am content if I shall
leave the estate to these boys not less but by some slight measure more than
my inheritance.” “The reason I asked,” I said,
is that you appear to me not to be over-fond of money.
