Suet., "Nero," 51. "Good morning, Pratinas!" said Lucius, warmly, taking the Greek's hand. "How glad we are to find you here.

"I advise?" replied Pratinas; "I am only a poor ignorant Hellene, and who am I, to give advice to Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, a most noble member of the most noble of nations!"

Pratinas went over to a large wooden chest with iron clasps, unlocked it, and gazed for a moment inside with evident satisfaction.
