Still there is a good dash of diplomacy.
C5.21, fin.

Pretty sentence.

Xenophon's words: some of these are prettily-sounding words, some are rare and choice and exquisite, some are charged with feeling, you can't touch them with your finger-tips without feeling an "affective" thrill.

That is in part the _goeteia_, the witchery, of his style.
C5.30-31.

A brilliant stroke of diplomacy worthy of the archic man.
