The Common Lot: Ammianus (Second Century A.D.)

By The Greek Anthology

Translation of John William Mackail

THOUGH thou pass beyond thy landmarks even to the pillars of Heracles, the share of earth that is equal to all men awaits thee, and thou shalt lie even as Irus, having nothing more than thine obelus moldering into a land that at last is not thine.
