Translation

[Meaning] you took as an associate, you numbered together [sc. with yourself].1 Aelian [writes]: "then, o most licentious man, so many who had become [your] enemies were not sufficient, but indeed you chose me also [to enroll] in the ranks of your enemies?"2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Προσείλου· προσελάβου, συνηρίθμησας. Αἰλιανός· εἶτα, ἀσελγέστατε, τοσοῦτοι ἐχθροὶ γεγενήμενοι οὐκ ἤρκεσαν, ἀλλ' ἄρα καὶ ἐμὲ εἰς τὴν τῶν ἐχθρῶν προσείλου τάξιν;
