To the Same Person.
Neither will a wolf ever associate on friendly terms with a sheep, nor does a pitiless and insatiable mind endure to be made a friend of good-will [benevolence, a kindly disposition].
Οὔτε λύκος προβάτῳ ποτὲ φιλικῶς προσωμιλήσει, οὔτε ἄσπλαγχνος καὶ ἄπληστος λογισμὸς τῇ ἀγαθοθελεία φιλιοῦσθαι ἀνέχεται.
