Libanius to Basil.
Every bishop is a thing
out of which it is very hard to get anything.3279
| 3279 πρᾶγμα
δυσγρίπιστον.
γριπίζω=I
catch fish, from γρῖφος, a
creel. | The further you have advanced
beyond other people in learning, the more you make me afraid that
you will refuse what I ask. I want some rafters.3280
Any other sophist would have called
them stakes, or poles, not because he wanted stakes or poles, but
rather for shewing off his wordlets than out of any real need.
If you do not supply them, I shall have to winter in the open
air.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
