p. 578Ῥούφου ἐκ τῶν Ἐπικτήτου Περὶ φιλίας · συνέχεια
Τὰ δ’ ἄλλα πάντα οὐκ ἐφ’ ἡμῖν ἐποιήσατο. Οὐκοῦν καὶ ἡμᾶς συμψήφους χρὴ τῷ θεῷ γενέσθαι καὶ ταύτῃ διελόντας τὰ πράγματα, τῶν μὲν ἐφ’ ἡμῖν πάντα τρόπον ἀντιποιεῖσθαι, τὰ δὲ μὴ ἐφ’ ἡμῖν ἐπιτρέψαι τῷ κόσμῳ, καὶ εἴτε τῶν παίδων δέοιτο, εἴτε τῆς πατρίδος, εἴτε τοῦ σώματος, εἴτε ὁτουοῦν, ἀσμένους παραχωρεῖν.

p. 579Rufus from Epictetus’s On Friendship · Continuation
But all other things he made not up to us. Therefore we too must agree with god and, dividing things in this way, lay claim in every way to what is up to us, entrust what is not up to us to the cosmos, and gladly yield whatever it may need, whether our children, our country, our body, or anything whatsoever.818
