[1] Although it is dangerous for us here in Athens to send a letter to Macedonia, not only now when we are at war with you,¹ but even in time of peace, nevertheless I have decided to write to you concerning Diodotus,² as I think it only right to esteem highly all those who have been my pupils and who have shown themselves worthy disciples, and not the least among them this man both because of his devotion to me and of the general probity of his character.

[1] ἐγώ, καίπερ ἐπικινδύνου παρ’ ἡμῖν ὄντος εἰς Μακεδονίαν πέμπειν ἐπιστολήν, οὐ μόνον νῦν ὅτε πολεμοῦμεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῆς εἰρήνης οὔσης, ὅμως γράψαι πρὸς σὲ προειλόμην περὶ Διοδότου, δίκαιον εἶναι νομίζων ἅπαντας μὲν περὶ πολλοῦ ποιεῖσθαι τοὺς ἐμαυτῷ πεπλησιακότας καὶ γεγενημένους ἀξίους ἡμῶν, οὐχ ἥκιστα δὲ τοῦτον καὶ διὰ τὴν εὔνοιαν τὴν εἰς ἡμᾶς καὶ διὰ τὴν ἄλλην ἐπιείκειαν.
