providential care for you。 And if danger threatens; you will find in



them not simply fellow…warriors; but champions eager to defend you



with their lives。'11'







'11' Not {summakhoi}; but {promakhoi}。







Worthy of many gifts you shall be deemed; and yet be never at a loss



for some well…wisher with whom to share them。 You shall command a



world…wide loyalty; a whole people shall rejoice with you at your good



fortunes; a whole people battle for your interests; as if in very deed



and truth their own。 Your treasure…houses shall be coextensive with



the garnered riches of your friends and lovers。







Therefore be of good cheer; Hiero; enrich your friends; and you will



thereby heap riches on yourself。 Build up and aggrandise your city;



for in so doing you will gird on power like a garment; and win allies



for her。'12'







'12' Some commentators suspect a lacuna at this point。







Esteem your fatherland as your estate; the citizens as comrades; your



friends as your own children; and your sons even as your own soul。 And



study to excel them one and all in well…doing; for if you overcome



your friends by kindness; your enemies shall nevermore prevail against



you。







Do all these things; and; you may rest assured; it will be yours to



own the fairest and most blessed possession known to mortal man。 You



shall be fortunate and none shall envy you。'13'







'13' Al。 〃It shall be yours to be happy and yet to escape envy。〃 The



    concluding sentence is gnomic in character and metrical in form。



    See 〃Pol。 Lac。〃 xv。 9。
