Κῦρος γὰρ ἔπεμπε βίκους οἴνου ἡμιδεεῖς πολλάκις ὁπότε πάνυ ἡδὺν λάβοι , λέγων ὅτι οὔπω δὴ πολλοῦ χρόνου τούτου ἡδίονι οἴνῳ ἐπιτύχοι : τοῦτον οὖν σοὶ ἔπεμψε καὶ δεῖταί σου τήμερον τοῦτον ἐκπιεῖν σὺν οἷς μάλιστα φιλεῖς .
For
example
,
when
Cyrus
got
some
particularly
good
wine
,
he
would
often
send
the
half-emptied
jar
to
a
friend
with
the
message
:
"
Cyrus
says
that
he
has
not
chanced
upon
better
wine
than
this
for
a
long
time
;
so
he
sends
it
to
you
,
and
asks
you
to
drink
it
up
today
in
company
with
the
friends
you
love
best
.
"
