Hear how the Romans feel towards philosophers, if you would like to know. Italicus, who was the most in repute of the philosophers, once when I was present being vexed with his own friends and as if he was suffering something intolerable said, I cannot bear it, you are killing me: you will make me such as that man is; pointing to me.Schweighaeuser says that he does not clearly see what Epictetus means; nor do I.
To a certain rhetorician who was going up to Rome on a suit.
