-

-
because every year the Corinthian hold a religious festival
-
in their city to which all of their allies send delegates.
-

-
with deference, with respect,
-
with gratitude, with kindness.

They abuse them publicly, they call them names,
-
they treat them like dirt,
-
they insult them in front of the family so to speak.
