Letter 982: Libanius urges Siburius to act against wrongdoers who harmed Iamblichus.

The servants of the wise Iamblichus ought to have acted justly toward a just master. Since one bad man has made two others like himself, one of whom has been caught, while the other has gone off to a place that gives confidence to wrongdoers, let it be your task, excellent friend, to make your anger at this into a favor for the Greek world. Iamblichus was such a man that what belonged to him belonged in common to all Greeks. Now, if you show yourself in the face of these outrages, everyone with a share in education will rejoice. Show yourself using the same means your father would have used if he himself had held authority.
