Translation: Sophocles [writes]: "the enemy is hateful to us in so far as he will be a friend hereafter; and to a friend I would wish to render so much service as to one who will not always stay [true]." One must, he is saying, devote oneself to one's enemies, as future friends; and to one's friends, as [future] enemies. So he is saying [one should] deal with matters moderately.
