69.38 A Spartan boy, being taken captive by Antigonus the king and sold, was obedient in all else to the one who had bought him, that is, in everything which he thought fitting for a free person to do, but when his owner bade him bring a chamber-pot, he would not brook such treatment, saying, I will not be a slave; and when the other was insistent, he went up upon the roof, and saying, You will gain much by your bargain, he threw himself down and ended his life. Cf. Moralia, 242 D (30), infra. This story is repeated by Philo Judaeus, Every Virtuous Man is Free, chap. xvii. (882 C); Seneca, Epistulae Moral. no. 77 (x. 1. 14), and is referred to by Epictetus, i. 2.

69.39 Another one being sold, when someone said, If I buy you, will you be good and helpful? said, Yes, and if you do not buy me. Cf. Moralia, 242 C (29), infra.

69.40 Another captive being put up for sale, when the crier announced that he was offering a slave for sale, said, You damnable wretch, won’t you say a captive? Cf. Moralia, 233 C (21), supra.

69.41 A Spartan had as an emblem on his shield a fly, and that, too, no bigger than life-size. When some mockingly said that he had done this to escape being noticed, he said, Rather that I may be noticeable; for I come so close to the enemy that my emblem is seen by them in its true size.

69.42 Another, when a lyre was brought in at an evening party, said, It is not Spartan to indulge in nonsense. Cf. Moralia, 220 A (3). For the expression of similar sentiments see Plutarch’s Life of Themistocles, chap. ii. (112 C); Cicero, Tusculan Disputations, i. 2 (4).

69.43 A Spartan, being asked if the road into Sparta were safe, said, That depends on what kind of a mon ye are; for the lions gang about where they wull, but the hares we hunt over that land.
