Damascius, Commentaire Du Parmenide de Platon
Do it for me, because I can't read French.

Read Olympiodorus [the Younger] and how he dealt with it.
Was far fucking worse for him and his bros.
>Had the writing of Plato not checked my impulse, I would have loosened by now the grievous, baneful bond of life.
>So too if they accuse me, asking why I am teaching the youth, will they ever be persuaded
that I do this in their interests, in order that they may become men of true quality (καλοὶ
κἀγαθοί)? So under such a constitution, one must create a fortress (τειχίον) for oneself, and
live quietly (ἡσυχάζειν) within it all the time.
Feels bad man
