The Handbook of Epictetus

Handbook 33.3

Translated by Clint Miller

§ 33.3
English

If you can, steer the conversation of your companions toward what is fitting. If you find yourself stranded among strangers, be silent.

Greek

ἂν μὲν οὖν οἷός τε ᾖς, μετάγαγε τοῖς σοῖς λόγοις καὶ τοὺς τῶν συνόντων ἐπὶ τὸ προσῆκον. εἰ δὲ ἐν ἀλλοφύλοις ἀποληφθεὶς τύχοις, σιώπα.
