Document Summary
Sure, a foreigner (xenos) must accept all the customs of his new city but i cannot praise the man who"s local-born but who, due to ignorance and immaturity, hurts bitterly his fellow citizens. (214-25) In any case, corinthians, things between you and me, are different. You are here, in your own country and in your own home, enjoying your life and your friends, whereas i am here alone and without a country. Firstly, you are now living in a greek land and not one inhabited by barbarians and so you are enjoying greek justice and greek laws, instead of simply submitting to the law of the strongest. Secondly, you"ve become famous and all the greeks know of your wisdom, whereas if you still lived in your own land, at the end of the world, no one would say a word about you.
