Phaedrus: (as Lysias, cont.)

so having persuaded you
to be hated
by these

they set you down
in a desert (eremia)
of loved ones (philos)

πείσαντες μὲν οὖν ἀπεχθέσθαι σε τούτοις

εἰς ἐρημίαν φίλων καθιστᾶσιν

the beloveds embrace (on fitnah)

so having persuaded you
to be hated
by these

they set you down
in a desert
heart

to show the tranquility
of gold
by fire
