"Fearful lest because of the private friendship which he has towards Archidamus [...]."

Notes
- For 'private' friendship -- as opposed to the communal kind mediated through a proxenos -- see also iota 114. (The present headword, however, is attested only here.)
The subject of the present entry's incomplete quotation, as was realised by Jonathan Toup (1713-1785), must be Pericles (pi 1179, pi 1180, pi 1181): see Pollux 3.59 and, imprimis, Thucydides 2.13.1.
