# Bailey prints the sage’s refusal of political entanglement even in civic emergency language

Date: 1926

## The fact

Bailey 1926 reprints sayings in which the sage avoids the prison of the many and does not make salvation depend on holding office. In a famine or assault, that counsel can be read as a duty not to staff relief. The dated book is Oxford’s.

## Context

Friendship inside the school is intense. Aid outside the compact is thinner.

[Epicurus](/people/epicurus) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official edition, museum, archive, or agency page and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

## Significance

A school that will not hold office can also fail to hold a granary key. Keep the lag and the limit.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
