to_o war_n against_o his_o enemy_n but_o a_o thing_n most_o chief_o to_o be_v note_v above_o the_o rest_n he_o will_v not_o vouchsafe_v to_o speak_v to_o mithridates_n magnanimity_n nor_o to_o take_v

i_o think_v it_o be_v easy_o judge_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o their_o two_o nature_n in_o that_o they_o do_v both_o towards_o the_o city_n of_o athens_n for_o sylla_n have_v take_v
