Plutarch

Plutarch. Moralia, Vol. III. Babbitt, Frank Cole, translator. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press; London: William Heinemann Ltd., 1931 (printing).

When Marsyas his brother had a lawsuit, and claimed the right to have the trial held at his house, Antigonus said, It shall be in the Forum and with everybody listening to see whether we do any injustice.

Once upon a time in the winter when he had forced a halt in regions lacking provisions, and some of the soldiers were cursing him, not knowing that he was near, he poked open his tent with his stick,

and said, You’ll be sorry if you don’t go farther off to curse me. [*](Repeated in Moralia, 457 E, and Seneca, De Ira, iii. 22. 2.)
