Comparison of Aristides with Marcus Cato.

• rivals with Marcus Cato (Cato is presented as contesting with Quintius Flamininus.) “It was not as great a matter to have Themistocles for an adversary, a person of mean extraction and small fortune, (for he was not worth, it is said, more than four or five talents when he first applied himself to public affairs,) as to contest with a Scipio Africanus, a Servius Galba, and a Quintius Flamininus, having no other aid but a tongue free to assert right.”
