[52]
The bitter dislike of the father to
the son, then, is proved by this, O Erucius, that he allowed him to remain in the
country. Is there anything else? Certainly, says he, there is. For he was thinking of
disinheriting him. I hear you. Now you are saying something which may have a bearing on
the business, for you will grant, I think, that those other arguments are trifling and
childish. He never went to any feasts with his father. Of course not, as he very seldom
came to town at all. People very seldom asked him to their houses. No wonder, for a man
who did not live in the city, and was not likely to ask them in return.
