If something can delight me it is a discovery like this. I bought the Penguin Classics edition of Menander a few years ago in part to look for the quote. That particular fragment, however, is not in my book.

I think, Demetrios, that you must be right about the context of the quote. If plausibly Caesar hoped to "be saved", he also probably saw his path as "a sea of real troubles".

Many, many thanks for sharing this.
