Nam cum frater eius Timophanes, dux a Corinthiis delectus, tyrannidem per milites mercennarios occupasset particepsque regni ipse posset esse, tantum afuit a societate sceleris, ut antetulerit civium suorum libertatem fratris saluti et parere legibus quam imperare patriae satius duxerit.
For when his brother Timophanes, who had been chosen general by the Corinthians, made himself tyrant with the aid of mercenary troops, although Timoleon might have shared in his power, so far was he from participating in the crime, that he valued the liberty of his fellow-citizens above his brothers life and considered obedience to its laws preferable to ruling over his country.
