Hic cum ad mortem duceretur, obvius ei fuit Euphiletus, quo familiariter fuerat usus. Is cum lacrimans dixisset O quam indigna perpeteris, Phocion! huic ille At non inopinata, inquit; hunc enim exitum plerique clari viri habuerunt Athenienses. In hoc tantum fuit odium multitudinis, ut nemo ausus sit eum liber sepelire. Itaque a servis sepultus est.
As he was being led to execution, he was met by Euphiletus, who had been his intimate friend. When the latter said with tears in his eyes: Oh, how unmerited is the treatment you are suffering, Phocion! the prisoner replied: But it is not unexpected; for nearly all the distinguished men of Athens have met this end. Such was the hatred of the people for him, that no freeborn man ventured to bury him; and so he was buried by slaves.
