Libanius to Basil.<br />

Letter CCCXLVII.<br />

Every bishop is a thing out of which it is very hard to get anything. 3279 <strong>The</strong> further you<br />

have advanced beyond other people in learning, the more you make me afraid that you will<br />

refuse what I ask. I want some rafters. 3280 Any other sophist would have called them stakes,<br />

or poles, not because he wanted stakes or poles, but rather for shewing off his wordlets than<br />

out of any real need. If you do not supply them, I shall have to winter in the open air.<br />

3279 πρᾶγμα δυσγρίπιστον. γριπίζω=I catch fish, from γρῖφος, a creel.<br />

3280 στρωτήρ.<br />
