Original Text :	τῶν δὲ θεραπόντων σχεδὸν ἁπάντων διακλαπέντων, ἐπεὶ πάλιν αὐτὸν ὁ Δημήτριος ἐφιλοφρονεῖτο καὶ τέλος ἀπαλλαττόμενος εἶπεν: ‘ἐλευθέραν ὑμῶν, ὦ Στίλπων, ἀπολείπω τὴν πόλιν,’ ‘ὀρθῶς,’ ἔφη, ‘λέγεις: οὐδένα γὰρ ἁμῶν δοῦλον ἀπολέλοιπας.’
Translation :	But nearly all the servants in the city were stolen away, and when Demetrius once more tried to deal kindly with the philosopher, and finally, on going away, said: ‘Your city, Stilpo, I leave in freedom,’ ‘Thou sayest truly,’ replied Stilpo, ‘for thou hast not left a single one of our slaves.’
