*******
ἐρωτηθεὶς τί ἐστι φίλος, ἔφη, Μία ψυχὴ δύο σώμασιν ἐνοικοῦσα.
[my translation; Upon being asked what a friend is, he said, "One soul in two bodies."]
******
ᾧ φίλοι, οὐδεὶς φίλος.
["My friends, but there is not one (real) friend (among you all)".]
******
ἐρωτηθεὶς πῶς ἂν τοῖς φίλοις προσφεροίμεθα, ἔφη, Ὡς ἂν εὐξαίμεθα αὐτοὺς ἡμῖν προσφέρεσθαι.
[ Upon being asked how we ought to behave toward friends, he said, "As we would pray that they continue to behave toward us." ]
