Relational Duties (Kathekonta)

From The Enchiridion by Epictetus
Duties are measured by social relations; one fulfills them regardless of whether the other party fulfills theirs.
Chapter 30
Duties are universally measured by relations. Is anyone a father? If so, it is implied that the children should take care of him... for nature has not made him your father, but your brother.
