For they hoped that the burning and destruction of the palace was the act of one who had fixed his thoughts on home, and did not intend to dwell among Barbarians. This is the way the deed was done, according to some writers; but others say it was premeditated.So Arrian, Anab. iii. 18. 11 f., where there is none of Plutarch’s romance. For this, cf.
