Death & Dying
Book VII, 573
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. II, 1917)
Death & Dying
This is the tomb of Cheiredius whom the Attic land nourished, an orator the image of the ancient ten, ever easily convincing the judge, but when himself a judge never swerving a hair's breadth from the straight path.
