turning [again] into enmity— Mc88 79 as with water heated on fire: when it is separated from the fire,

it reverts to being cold. Mc91 80 You are an enemy unto me and I unto you. How can

friendship work between us, Mc94 83 while I know that you Mc92 have no need except that of eating me? 81 You and I were compelled,

by a need, to enter an agreement, and the matter which made you need me and which obliged [me]

5 to you has passed. I fear, then, that in its passing is the return of the enmity between you and me. Mc93 82 There is no

good in the weak becoming close with the powerful enemy and no good in the humble approaching the grand.’

Mc106 94 “And so the rat stood firm in his stance, remaining wary of the cat.” Mc109 97 This has been the parable of the rat who became friend to the cat.
