C5.32. This is almost pummelling, but it's fair: it's rather, "See, I
have you now in Chancery, I could pummel if I would."

C5.37. These constant masters' meetings!

C5.38 ff. The mind of Xenophon: guiding principles, rule of Health, rule
of Forethought. Religious trust in the divine, and for things beyond
man's control; orderly masterly working out of problems within his
power. Economic, diplomatic, anchinoetic, archic manhood. Moral theory,
