Philippides was a great favorite with king Lysimachus, from whom the Athenians received, for his sake, a variety of kindnesses. Lysimachus went so far as to think it a happy omen to meet or see Philippides at the outset of any enterprise or expedition. And, in general, he was well thought of for his own character, as a plain, uninterfering person, with none of the officious, self-important habits of a court. Once, when Lysimachus was solicitous to show him kindness, and asked what he had that he could make him a present of, "Anything," replied Philippides, "but your state secrets." The stage-player, we thought, deserved a place in our narrative quite as well as the public speaker.

白话

菲利皮德斯是国王利西马科斯的好友,雅典人因他而得到许多恩惠。利西马科斯甚至认为,在开始任何事业或远征时遇到或见到菲利皮德斯是吉兆。他因性格朴实、不干涉他人、没有宫廷中那种自命不凡的习惯而受到好评。一次,利西马科斯想送他礼物,问他要什么,菲利皮德斯回答:什么都行,除了你的国家机密。普鲁塔克认为,这个演员和演说家一样值得记载。
