You too.

It is an interesting letter, but I suppose none else think so. It's not easy to translate for me, but the post was more for Solon and AA to add some light. From what I can tell he's talking about how he in his youth wanted to jump into politics but through the example of Socrates avoided it. He wants the youth of Syracuse to not make a mistake to participate in the an errand of folly.

Again. I'll shrink back into my hole.
