Isocrates. Isocrates with an English Translation in three volumes, by Larue Van Hook, Ph.D., LL.D. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1945-1968.

In gratitude we honored them with the highest honors and set up their statues[*](In front of the Zeus Stoa in the Agora: cf. Pausanias i. 3. 2.) where stands the image of Zeus the Savior, near to it and to one another, a memorial both of the magnitude of their benefactions and of their mutual friendship. The king of Persia, however, did not have the same opinion of them: on the contrary, the greater and more illustrious their deeds the more he feared them. Concerning Conon I will give an account elsewhere[*](Isocrates gives a brief discussion of Conon's affairs in Isoc. 5.62-64.); but that toward Evagoras he entertained this feeling not even the king himself sought to conceal.
