It is [the duty] of a stranger and sojourner to mind nothing but his own concerns, to inquire nothing about that of another, nor to be curiously prying into a state different to his own. It is the [frailty] of any man to err; [but] of none but a fool to persist in error. It is [the custom] of the Thracians to quarrel amidst their cups designed for mirth.
