ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the oration of Cyrus, Chrysantas, and Pheraulas. In the oration of Cyrus, Aglaitadas is quoted as saying that anybody who makes his friends to weep, does a great deal better than he who makes them to laugh. For by weeping, fathers make their children sober, and the schoolmasters their scholars well learned, and the laws enforced citizens, by making them to weep to keep justice. According to Pheraulas, one of the Persian commons, there is no schoolmaster so good, as necessity, which has taught us to be very perfect in the same. Chrysantas being glad of Cyrus' instruction, took his guides, and departed.
